Q. Given the function f(x)=−1+67x2, find the value of f(71) in simplest form.Answer:
Given function substitution: We are given the function f(x)=−1+67x2 and we need to find the value of f(71). To do this, we will substitute x with 71 in the function.
Calculate square: Substitute x=71 into the function f(x)=−1+67x2.f(71)=−1+67(71)2
Substitute square value: Calculate the square of (71).(71)2=(7212)=491
Multiply fractions: Substitute the value of (71)2 back into the function.f(71)=−1+(67)(491)
Add to −1: Multiply 67 by 491.67×491=6×497=2947
Find common denominator: Add the result to −1.f(71)=−1+2947
Combine fractions: Find a common denominator to combine the terms.The common denominator is 294.−1 can be written as −294/294.f(71)=−294294+2947
Perform addition: Combine the fractions. f(71)=294−294+7
Write final answer: Perform the addition in the numerator.−294+7=−287
Write final answer: Perform the addition in the numerator. −294+7=−287Write the final answer.f(71)=294−287
