given the function rule f(x)=x^2-5x +1, what is the output of f(-3)
a 7
b -5
c 25
d 5
To find the output of the function f(-3), we need to substitute -3 for x in the function rule f(x) = x^2 - 5x + 1.
f(-3) = (-3)^2 - 5(-3) + 1
= 9 + 15 + 1
= 25
Therefore, the output of f(-3) is 25. The answer is c) 25.
To find the output of the function f(-3), we substitute -3 for x in the function rule:
f(x) = x^2 - 5x + 1
f(-3) = (-3)^2 - 5(-3) + 1
Now, simplifying the expression:
f(-3) = 9 + 15 + 1
f(-3) = 25
Therefore, the output of f(-3) is 25. So, the correct answer is c) 25.
