You just substitute the value of x in the given equation:


f(x) = 2x^2 - 5

f(-4) = 2 (-4)^2 -5 = 27

f(x) : a name given to the equation
f(-4): refer to the equation when the value of the independent variable x has the value between the brackets.

A $129.50 stereo is discounted 40%. The next month, the sale price is discounted 60%. Is the stereo now “free”? If not, what is
blondinia [14]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Original Price
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
$129.50

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discount
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
40% of $129.50
= 0.4 x 129.50
$51.80

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Price after discount
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
$129.50 - $51.80 = $77.70

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further discount of 60%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
60% of $77.70
=  0.6 x 77.7
= $46.62

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Price after discount
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
$77.70 - $46.62 = $31.08

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: It is not free. It still cost $31.08.
