Question 820874: I am not understanding this one bit.
Evaluate the function at the indicated values
f(x)=x^2-6 ; f(-3),f(3), f(0), f(1/2), f(10)
The book is confusing. I hope I wrote the equation down correctly.

Hi,
Evaluate the function at the indicated values: f(-3),f(3,f(0),f(1/2),f(10)
f(x) = x^2 - 6,
for ex: f(-3) = (-3)^2 - 6 = 9-6 = 3 |Substituting (-3) in for x
Doing so for each, one could make a list of values as below:
x f(x) = x^2-6
-3 3
3 3
0 -6
1/2 -5 3/4
10 94
