f(5) f(x)=10x-x^2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

f(x)=10x-x^2 f(5)=10*(5)-(5)^2 ... replace every x with 5 f(5) = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You dont make the whole equation equal to 5?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, that's if you wanted to solve f(x) = 5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

f(5) means evaluate f(x) when x = 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its says to find f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i got 3/5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well you wrote f(5)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

f(x)=10x-x^2 f(5)=10*(5)-(5)^2 ... replace every x with 5 f(5) = 10*5 - 25 f(5) = 50 - 25 f(5) = 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh right the x goes away

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes because you replace every x with 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that all there is to it?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh well thanks! I needed help with my calc stuff I appreciate it!
