f ( x )

The given function is:

$f(x) = 5x^2 + 8$

Would you like to evaluate this function at specific values of $x$, find its derivative, or analyze its behavior further (e.g., domain, range, etc.)? Let me know how I can assist!

5 Follow-up Questions:

1. Would you like to compute $f(x)$ for specific values of $x$?
2. Should I find the derivative $f'(x)$ or integral $\int f(x) \, dx$?
3. Would you like to explore the vertex and symmetry of this quadratic function?
4. Should I analyze the domain and range of $f(x)$?
5. Do you want a graph of $f(x)$ for a better visual understanding?

Tip:

For quadratic functions like $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$, the coefficient $a$ determines whether the parabola opens upward ($a > 0$) or downward ($a < 0$).
