Answer:
f(5) = 75
Explanation:
The function is f(x) = 2x^2 + x(100 - 15x).
Evaluate this function at x = 5: replace each instance of x with 5:
f(5) = 2(5)^2 + 5(100 - 15·5)
Order of operations rules require evaluating the expression enclosed in parentheses first. We get:
f(5) = 2(5)^2 + 5(100 - 15·5)
= 50 + (100 - 75), so that:
f(5) = 50 + 25 = 75
f(5) = 75
