If f(x) = 2x2 − 30, find f(4) would you put the 4 in the f(x) place?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

\[f(x)=2x^2-30\] replace x by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in 4 on the right side

Parth (parthkohli):

Did you understand? @rachaellla

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. and yes

Parth (parthkohli):

Nice!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait actually so youre looking for x?

Parth (parthkohli):

No, you are looking for \(f(4)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its If f(x) = 24^2 − 30 ?

Parth (parthkohli):

No..\[f(4) = 2(4)^2 - 30 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:/ so then what am i looking for?

Parth (parthkohli):

You're looking to simplify that expression.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 2?

Parth (parthkohli):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)
