For all real values of x, f(x^2) + f(30-x)=6x-4. Determine the value of f(25).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Apply the given equality f%28x%5E2%29+%2B+f%2830-x%29 = 6x-4

to x = 5. You will get then


f(25) + f(30-5) = 6*5-4,   or

f(25) + f(25) = 26,   or

2*f(25) = 26,   which gives  f(25) = 26%2F2 = 13.

Answer.  f(25) = 13.
