Given that f(x) = 12x ^ 2 - 800x + 1,000 and q(x) = 6.500x + 470 , find the value of f(5) + g(5)
To find the value of f(5) + q(5), we need to substitute x = 5 into the given functions.
f(5) = 12(5)^2 - 800(5) + 1000 = 12(25) - 4000 + 1000 = 300 - 4000 + 1000 = -2700
q(5) = 6.500(5) + 470 = 32.5 + 470 = 502.5
Therefore, f(5) + q(5) = -2700 + 502.5 = -2197.5
So, the value of f(5) + q(5) is -2197.5.
