Question

Given f(x) = x2 − 4x + 5, find each value. a. f(2) b. f(−6)

Answer 1

Answer:

This problem requires you to plug in the values to get an answer.

f(2)=1

f(-6)= 65

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to plug in each value in the equation.

$f(2) = 2^{2} - 4(2) + 5$

$f(2) = 4 - 8 + 5$

$f(2) = - 4 + 5$

$f(2) = 1$

For f(-6):

$f( - 6) = ( - 6)^{2} - 4( - 6) + 5$

$f( - 6) = 36 + 24 + 5$

$f( - 6) = 65$
