If f(x) = x2 + 8x − 3, what is f(5)?

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

So here you would just put instead of x a 5

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

so 5*2+8*2-3

OpenStudy (emmynimmy):

23

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Wow your smart. ;)

OpenStudy (emmynimmy):

are you being sarcastic because i just put it in and it says its wrong

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

No I got 23 as well...

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

You sure?

OpenStudy (emmynimmy):

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

oooh you forgot x^2

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

so its 5^2+8*5-3

OpenStudy (emmynimmy):

its 62

OpenStudy (emmynimmy):

Let f(x) = 7x − 25. What ordered pair in f corresponds to the equation f(x) = 3? Recall y = f(x). (x, y) =

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

so same thing. to find x

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

instead of x you have 3

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

and f(x) is just a fancy way of saying y.

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

So its 7*3-25

OpenStudy (emmynimmy):

-4

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

mhm

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

Alright emmy igtg look at my question... ttyl.

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

:)

OpenStudy (emmynimmy):

Substitute the value of y into the equation that defines f. Did you solve that equation for x? Remember that when writing an ordered pair, the x-coordinate comes first and the y-coordinate comes second.

OpenStudy (emmynimmy):

thats what it says

OpenStudy (markchernioglo):

I solved for y because all f(x) means is y

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

f(x) = y
