Question 870590: I'm not entirely sure what the question is asking. Would appreciate some clarification.
Q) What does the following in the function specifically do to ANY input? Recall that the symbol “x” is shorthand notation for input. Be specific in your response. (Do not just say it produces an output).
f(x) = 6 * -15

You start with x and you square it to get (eg: let's use x = 12, so


Then you multiply that result by 6 to get (6*144 = 864)


Finally, you subtract off 15 from that to get (864 - 15 = 849, so x = 12 leads to f(x) = 849)


Note: you can use any number you want and it doesn't have to be 12.
