: Can someone please help me on the following problem?
I need to evaluate this function for the value specified.
f(x) = x^2 - 7x + 10; find (a) f(0), (b) f(5), and (c) f(-2).
Thank you,

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I will show b) for you and you can follow the steps to repeat for a) and c)
when solving for a function f(x) = x^2 - 7x + 10 where f(5) is the question, you substitute 5 in for x
f(g)=5^2-7(5)+10
now you simplify the equation,
25-35+10=f(g)
in this case 0 is f(g)
in all the other case simply substitute in the number for x to solve.
Good luck.
