a)

Let's evaluate f(0)


Start with the given function


Plug in


Raise 0 to the 2nd power to get 0


Multiply 1 and 0 to get 0


Multiply 7 and 0 to get 0


Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0


Add 0 and 10 to get 10


-----------------------------
b)
Let's evaluate f(5)


Start with the given function


Plug in


Raise 5 to the 2nd power to get 25


Multiply 1 and 25 to get 25


Multiply 7 and 5 to get 35


Subtract 35 from 25 to get -10


Add -10 and 10 to get 0


-----------------------------
c)

Let's evaluate f(-2)


Start with the given function


Plug in


Raise -2 to the 2nd power to get 4


Multiply 1 and 4 to get 4


Multiply 7 and -2 to get -14


Subtract -14 from 4 to get 18


Add 18 and 10 to get 28
