give me answer

Given f(x) = x^2 - 10x + 3, find f(0) and f(-2).

Solution

The problem asks you to find f(0)f(0) and f(2)f(-2) given the function:

f(x)=x210x+3f(x) = x^2 - 10x + 3

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Find f(0)f(0): Substitute x=0x = 0 into the function:

    f(0)=(0)210(0)+3=00+3=3f(0) = (0)^2 - 10(0) + 3 = 0 - 0 + 3 = 3

    So, f(0)=3f(0) = 3.

  2. Find f(2)f(-2): Substitute x=2x = -2 into the function:

    f(2)=(2)210(2)+3f(-2) = (-2)^2 - 10(-2) + 3 f(2)=4+20+3=27f(-2) = 4 + 20 + 3 = 27

    So, f(2)=27f(-2) = 27.

Final Answers:

  • f(0)=3f(0) = 3
  • f(2)=27f(-2) = 27
