Question 110715: How would you solve this problem?
Given f(x)=x^2-4x+3 evaluate f(-1)
This is how I worked the problem but I don't think I did something right.
f(x)=x^2-4x+3
f(-1)=(-1)^2-4(-1)+3
=1-4(-1)+3
3+4+3
=10
answer:
(-1,10)

: Here is where you moved a 3 down as the value of the first term instead of the 1 it should have been.
:
And then the correct ordered pair, (x,f(x)) would be (-1,8)
