Question

F(x)=x to the forth - x squared + x. find f(2)

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

Answer 2

So you're given the function f(x)=
`x^(4) - x^(2) + x`. From here it's a simple plug in, since they're giving us our x-value, 2. (If this helps at all) a function is like a machine, you input something and it gives you an output. This these functions (f(x)) our input is an x-value, and we get a y-value. If you think of this and test a bunch of points on a graph then it'll make a whole lot of sense.

So with this problem, your input is 2, and our function (machine that'll give us our output) is
`x^(4) - x^(2) + x`. All you do is plug in 2 for all x's and solve:


`2^(4) - 2^(2) + 2` = 14

So 14 is your output, and your answer!
