Question

1. Given: f(x)=x²-5x +1 A) Which is larger f(2) or f(-2)? B) Which is smaller f(0) or f(4)?

Answer 1

A. The function f(-2) is larger than f(2)

B. The function f(4) is smaller than f(0)

Given,

The function;  f(x) = x²- 5x + 1

We have to find;

A. The larger is f(2) or f(-2)

Here,

f(2) = 2²- 5 x 2 + 1 = 4 - 10 + 1 = - 6 + 1 = -5

f(-2) = -2²- 5 x -2 + 1 = 4 + 10 + 1 = 15

That is,

The function f(-2) is larger than f(2)

B. The smaller is  f(0) or f(4)

Here,

f(0) =  0²- 5 x 0 + 1 = 0 - 0 + 1 = 1

f(4) = 4²- 5 x 4 + 1 = 16 - 20 + 1 = - 4 + 1 = -3

That is,

The function f(4) is smaller than f(0)
