Identify Function and Value: Identify the function and the value to substitute.We are given the function f(x)=3x2+x−17 and we need to find f(1). This means we will substitute x with 1 in the function.
Substitute x with 1: Substitute x with 1 in the function.f(1)=3(1)2+(1)−17
Evaluate Expression: Evaluate the expression.First, calculate 3(1)2 which is 3×1×1=3.Then, add 1 to 3 which gives us 3+1=4.Finally, subtract 17 from 4 which gives us 4−17=−13.
Write Final Result: Write down the final result.f(1)=−13
