To find \( f(7) \), we observe that the equation of the tangent line at the point \( a = 7 \) is given as \( y = 4x - 5 \). The value of \( f(7) \) corresponds to the \( y \)-coordinate of the point where the tangent line touches the curve \( y = f(x) \). Substituting \( x = 7 \) into the tangent line equation gives: \[ y = 4(7) - 5 = 28 - 5 = 23 \] Thus, \( f(7) = 23 \). Next, to find \( f^{\prime}(7) \), we recognize that the slope of the tangent line represents the derivative at that point. From the tangent line's equation \( y = 4x - 5 \), we see that the slope is 4. Therefore, \[ f^{\prime}(7) = 4. \] So, in summary: \( f(7) = 23 \) and \( f^{\prime}(7) = 4 \).
