Question

10+1/2(4x-8)^2 what is f(3)

Answer 1

$f(x) = 10 + \frac{1}{2} {(4x - 8)}^{2} \\ \\ f(3) = 10 + \frac{1}{2} {(4 \times 3 - 8)}^{2} \\ \\ f(3) = 10 + \frac{1}{2} {(12 - 8)}^{2} \\ \\ f(3) = 10 + \frac{1}{2} {(4)}^{2} \\ \\ f(3) = 10 + \frac{1}{2} \times 16 \\ \\ f(3) = 10 + 8 \\ \\ \boxed{ \red{ \large{f(3) = 18}}}$
