Question

Let f be the function defined by f(x) = 1/4 * x⁴. What is the value of f(2)?

a) 2
b) 4
c) 8
d) 16

Answer 1

The value of f(2) is 4, corresponding to option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of f(2) can be found by substituting x = 2 into the function defined by f(x) = 1/4 * x⁴ (where x is raised to the power of 4). Let's calculate:

f(2) = 1/4 * 2⁴ = 1/4 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 1/4 * 16 = 4.

Therefore, the value of f(2) is 4, which corresponds to option b.
