trouble with outputs....
Find the indecated outputs for f(x)=3x^2 - 5x
f(0)=?
f(-1)=?
f(2)=?
please help
To find the indicated outputs for the given function f(x) = 3x^2 - 5x, you need to substitute the given values of x into the function and solve for f(x). Let's calculate the indicated outputs step by step:
1. Finding f(0):
To find f(0), substitute x = 0 into the function:
f(0) = 3(0)^2 - 5(0)
= 0 - 0
= 0
Therefore, f(0) = 0.
2. Finding f(-1):
To find f(-1), substitute x = -1 into the function:
f(-1) = 3(-1)^2 - 5(-1)
= 3(1) + 5
= 3 + 5
= 8
Therefore, f(-1) = 8.
3. Finding f(2):
To find f(2), substitute x = 2 into the function:
f(2) = 3(2)^2 - 5(2)
= 3(4) - 10
= 12 - 10
= 2
Therefore, f(2) = 2.
Thus, the values of the indicated outputs are:
f(0) = 0
f(-1) = 8
f(2) = 2
