Question

Given the following function, find f(-2), f(0), and f(4).

Answer 1

Answer:

f(-2) = 0

f(0) = -4

f(4) = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) = x^2 - 4, we must plug in the values substituting x for each of the answers.

f(-2) = (-2)^2 - 4

-2 times itself is a positive 4, therefore:

f(-2) = 4 - 4

f(-2) = 0

We do the same for each answer.

f(0) = (0)^2 - 4

f(0) = -4

f(4) = (4)^2 - 4

f(4) = 16 - 4

f(4) = 12
