You can put this solution on YOUR website!
evaluate each function for the value specified
Substitute the number in for x and simplify.
f(x)=x^2-7x+10, find
(a)f(0)
f%280%29=%280%29%5E2-7%280%29%2B10
f%280%29=0-0%2B10
highlight%28f%280%29=10%29
:
(b) f(5)
f%285%29=%285%29%5E2-7%285%29%2B10
f%285%29=25-35%2B10
highlight%28f%285%29=0%29
:
(c) f(-2)
f%28-2%29=%28-2%29%5E2-7%28-2%29%2B10
f%28-2%29=4%2B14-10
highlight%28f%28-2%29=8%29

Happy Calculating!!!
