Q. If f(x)=2x2+9−12, what is the value of f(1), to the nearest tenth (if necessary)?Answer:
Substitute x with 1: To find the value of f(1), we need to substitute x with 1 in the function f(x)=2(x2+9)−12.
Calculate the exponent: Substitute x with 1: f(1)=212+9−12.
Calculate 210: Calculate the exponent: 1(2)+9=1+9=10.
Subtract 12: Now, calculate 2 raised to the power of 10: 210=1024.
Final value: Subtract 12 from 1024 to get the final value: 1024−12=1012.
No rounding necessary: Since the problem asks for the answer to the nearest tenth, we see that 1012 is already an integer, so no rounding is necessary.
