F(3)= 5x^2 - 4x + 9<br> evaluate this quadratic function

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

$f(3) = 38$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic function

$f\left(x\right)=\:5x^2\:-\:4x\:+\:9$

Evaluating the quadratic function

$f\left(x\right)=\:5x^2\:-\:4x\:+\:9$

substitute x = 3

$f\left(3\right)=\:5\left(3\right)^2\:-\:4\left(4\right)\:+\:9$

$f(3) = 45-16+9$

$f(3) = 38$

Therefore,

$f(3) = 38$

Greeley [361]

X=13 1/3

So first you have to add 16 +4 = 20. Then, simplify 3/2 to 1.5. Finally divide 20 by 1.5 = 13.333333333, or 13 1/3
