Example Questions

Example Question #61 : Algebraic Functions

 

 

With the given function \displaystyle f(x)=x^{2}-4x+5, find \displaystyle f(5)

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle f(5)=10

\displaystyle f(5)=20

\displaystyle f(5)=-5

\displaystyle f(5)=50

\displaystyle f(5)=5

Correct answer:

\displaystyle f(5)=10

Explanation:

To find \displaystyle f(5) we must plug in the value \displaystyle x=5:

\displaystyle f(x)=x^{2}-4x+5

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

\displaystyle f(5)=25-20+5

\displaystyle f(5)=10

Example Question #61 : How To Find F(X)

With the given function \displaystyle f(x)=\frac{2x^{2}+7}{5}, find \displaystyle f(2).

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle f(2)=3

\displaystyle f(2)=5

\displaystyle f(2)=-5

\displaystyle f(2)=\frac{11}{5}

\displaystyle f(2)=2

Correct answer:

\displaystyle f(2)=3

Explanation:

To find \displaystyle f(2), we must plug in \displaystyle x=2 for the provided function:

\displaystyle f(x)=\frac{2x^{2}+7}{5}

\displaystyle f(2)=\frac{2(2)^{2}+7}{5}

\displaystyle f(2)=\frac{8+7}{5}

\displaystyle f(2)=\frac{15}{5}

\displaystyle f(2)=3

Example Question #61 : How To Find F(X)

Given a function \displaystyle f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^{2}-3x+2, what is \displaystyle f(\sqrt{2})?

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 3-\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}

\displaystyle 3+3\sqrt{2}

\displaystyle 3-3\sqrt{2}

\displaystyle 3+\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}

\displaystyle 3-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 3-3\sqrt{2}

Explanation:

Given a function \displaystyle f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^{2}-3x+2, we can plug in \displaystyle x=\sqrt{2} to get

\displaystyle f(\sqrt{2})=\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{2})^{2}-3(\sqrt{2})+2=1-3\sqrt{2}+2=3-3\sqrt{2}

Example Question #61 : How To Find F(X)

Given a function \displaystyle f(x)=2x^{2}-x+3, what is \displaystyle f(3)?

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 20

\displaystyle 16

\displaystyle 24

\displaystyle 22

\displaystyle 18

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 18

Explanation:

Given a function \displaystyle f(x)=2x^{2}-x+3, we can plug in \displaystyle x=3 to get

\displaystyle f(3)=2(3)^{2}-(3)+3=18-3+3=18.

Example Question #3391 : Algebra 1

Given a function \displaystyle f(x)=7-x^{2}+x, what is \displaystyle f(2)?

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 6

\displaystyle 5

\displaystyle 2

\displaystyle 4

\displaystyle 3

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 5

Explanation:

Given a function \displaystyle f(x)=7-x^{2}+x, we can plug in \displaystyle x=2 to get

\displaystyle f(2)=7-(2)^{2}+(2)=7-4+2=3+2=5.

Example Question #67 : Algebraic Functions

Given a function \displaystyle f(x)=3x^{2}-2x+5, what is ?

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 43

\displaystyle 42

\displaystyle 45

\displaystyle 46

\displaystyle 44

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 45

Explanation:

Given a function

\displaystyle f(x)=3x^{2}-2x+5,

we can plug in to get

\displaystyle f(4)=3(4)^{2}-2(4)+5=48-8+5=40+5=45.

Example Question #61 : How To Find F(X)

Given a function \displaystyle f(x)=9-(6x-x^{2}), what is \displaystyle f(2)?

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 0

\displaystyle 3

\displaystyle 2

\displaystyle 1

\displaystyle -1

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 1

Explanation:

Given a function 

\displaystyle f(x)=9-(6x-x^{2}),

we can plug in \displaystyle x=2 to get

\displaystyle f(2)=9-(6(2)-(2)^{2})=9-12+4=-3+4=1.

Example Question #69 : Algebraic Functions

Given a function \displaystyle f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^{3}, what is \displaystyle f(6)?

\displaystyle 112

\displaystyle 108

\displaystyle 110

\displaystyle 104

\displaystyle 106

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 108

Explanation:

Given a function 

\displaystyle f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^{3},

we can plug in \displaystyle x=6 to get

.

Example Question #3401 : Algebra 1

Given a function \displaystyle f(x)=7x^{2}-9x+2, what is \displaystyle f(2)?

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 12

\displaystyle 16

\displaystyle 19

\displaystyle 18

\displaystyle 14

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 12

Explanation:

Given a function 

\displaystyle f(x)=7x^{2}-9x+2,

we can plug in \displaystyle x=2 to get

\displaystyle f(2)=7(2)^{2}-9(2)+2=28-18+2=10+2=12

Example Question #3401 : Algebra 1

Given a function \displaystyle f(x)=-(x^{2})+4x-10, what is \displaystyle f(3)?

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 7

\displaystyle -6

\displaystyle 6
