O The value of f(2) is smaller than the value of f(1).
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's solve for both. When the problem says f(1) or f(2), this just means that the x value is equal to that. So: f(1) = -5(1)^2 + 2(1) + 9 = 6 f(2) = -5(2)^2 + 2(2) + 9 = -7 Since f(1) = 6 and f(2) = -7, we know that f(1) is greater than f(2). Therefore, the value of f(2) is smaller than the value of f(1)
