Q. If f(x)=7x2−3+13, what is the value of f(1), to the nearest hundredth (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)=7(x2−3)+13.
Calculate the exponent: Substitute x with 1: f(1)=7(12)−3+13.
Calculate 7−2: Calculate the exponent: 12−3=1−3=−2.
Convert to decimal: Now we have f(1)=7−2+13.
Add to 13: Calculate 7−2: 7−2=1/(72)=1/49.
Round to nearest hundredth: Now we have f(1)=491+13.
Round to nearest hundredth: Now we have f(1)=491+13.Convert 491 to a decimal: 491≈0.02040816.
Round to nearest hundredth: Now we have f(1)=491+13.Convert 491 to a decimal: 491≈0.02040816.Add the decimal to 13: 0.02040816+13≈13.02040816.
Round to nearest hundredth: Now we have f(1)=491+13.Convert 491 to a decimal: 491≈0.02040816.Add the decimal to 13: 0.02040816+13≈13.02040816.Round to the nearest hundredth: 13.02040816≈13.02.
