SOLUTION: Evaluate each function for the value specified. f(x)=x^-7x+10; find (a) f(0), (b) f(5), (c) f(-2). This is what I have: f(x)=2^(-7x+10) (a) f(0)=2^(-7*0+10=2^(0+10)=2^+10=1024

Question 117574: Evaluate each function for the value specified.
f(x)=x^-7x+10; find (a) f(0), (b) f(5), (c) f(-2).
This is what I have: f(x)=2^(-7x+10)
(a) f(0)=2^(-7*0+10=2^(0+10)=2^+10=1024
(b) f(5)=2^(-7*5+10)=2^-25=1/(2*25)
(c) f(-2)=2^(-7*-2+10)=2^(14+10)=2*24
My question is, am I correct on these solutions?
Thank You, Barb Neely

Is your function ? If it is, then....



Let's evaluate


Start with the given function.


Plug in . In other words, replace each x with 0.


Evaluate to get 0.


Multiply -7 and 0 to get 0


Now combine like terms


-----------Now let's evaluate another value---------


Let's evaluate


Start with the given function.


Plug in . In other words, replace each x with 5.


Evaluate to get 25.


Multiply -7 and 5 to get -35


Now combine like terms


-----------Now let's evaluate another value---------


Let's evaluate


Start with the given function.


Plug in . In other words, replace each x with -2.


Evaluate to get 4.


Multiply -7 and -2 to get 14


Now combine like terms
