Hi Sher,
; find (a) f(0), (b) f(5), and (c) f(-2).
substitute the values given for x and simplify:
(a)

(b)

(c)

Happy Calculating, Sher!!!

Hello Sher
to solve, substitute the numbers in for x
f(0)=0^2-7(0)+10.
f(0)=10
f(5)=5^2 - 7(5) + 10
f(5)=0
The last one follows the same line substitute in -2 for x, remember when squaring a negative number it comes out positive, and when subtracting a negative it is the same as adding a positive.
Try the last one for yourself, If you have any problems please feel free to email me.
good Luck
