Let's evaluate f%281%29


f%28x%29=2x%5E2-3x%2B5 Start with the given function.


f%281%29=2%281%29%5E2-3%281%29%2B5 Plug in x=1. In other words, replace each x with 1.


f%281%29=2%281%29-3%281%29%2B5 Evaluate %281%29%5E2 to get 1.


f%281%29=%2B2-3%281%29%2B5 Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2


f%281%29=%2B2-3%2B5 Multiply -3 and 1 to get -3


f%281%29=4 Now combine like terms
