The value of f( -2) is 24
Solution:
Given function is:
![f(x) = x^2-5x + 10](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/xy7ttjyghitaik7h6hibmm2yg657d8gzz8.png)
We have to evaluate the given function for f( - 2)
We can obtain the value of f( -2) , by substituting x equal to -2 in given function
Plug in x = -2 in given function
![f(-2) = (-2)^2 - 5(-2) + 10](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/g2ryu4ey4mfpdpjewpei6ah17o7cuisk8j.png)
Solve and simplify the above expression
![f(-2) = 4+ 10 + 10\\\\f(-2) = 24](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/huqxohj2fekuh0ogksrkseh92qcw5n1du7.png)
Thus value of f( -2) is 24
