Question

Given f(x) = x2 − 4x + 5, find each value. a. f(2) b. f(−6)

Answer 1

This problem requires you to plug in the values to get an answer.

f(2)=1

f(-6)= 65

Explanation:

You need to plug in each value in the equation.

`f(2) = 2^(2) - 4(2) + 5`

`f(2) = 4 - 8 + 5`

`f(2) = - 4 + 5`

`f(2) = 1`

For f(-6):

`f( - 6) = ( - 6)^(2) - 4( - 6) + 5`

`f( - 6) = 36 + 24 + 5`

`f( - 6) = 65`
