SOLUTION: find the indicated outputs for f(x)= 5x^2 -3x. I am having difficulty in trying to figure out this problem. I thought that it is five x to the second power which means five time

Question 467762: find the indicated outputs for f(x)= 5x^2 -3x.
I am having difficulty in trying to figure out this problem. I thought that it is five x to the second power which means five times five which would make it 25x minus 3x but the answer comes up incorrect. Could you please help me?

without parentheses, the exponent only applies to the quantity immediately preceding it

remember PEMDAS ___ this expression is [5 times (x squared)], minus, 3 times x
