Question

F(x) = (1 – 3)^2– 16

Standard Form: f (x) =
a) f(x) = -16
b) f(x) = 12
c) f(x) = 4
d) f(x) = -8

Answer 1

The given function is f(x) = (1 – 3)^2– 16. The value of f(x) is -12 (option b).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = (1 – 3)^2– 16. To find the value of f(x), we can simplify the expression:

f(x) = (-2)^2 - 16

f(x) = 4 - 16

f(x) = -12

Therefore, the correct option is f(x) = -12 (option b).
