Math Problem Statement

What is the value of f(4) given the function f(x) = 2x^2 - 3x?

Solution

To solve for f(4)f(4) given the function f(x)=2x23xf(x) = 2x^2 - 3x, we substitute x=4x = 4 into the equation:

f(4)=2(4)23(4)f(4) = 2(4)^2 - 3(4)

Let's calculate it step by step:

f(4)=2(16)12f(4) = 2(16) - 12 f(4)=3212f(4) = 32 - 12 f(4)=20f(4) = 20

So, the correct value of f(4)f(4) is 20, which corresponds to option A.
