Q. If f(x)=9x2−2, what is the value of f(−10), to the nearest ten-thousandth (if necessary)?Answer:
Substitute x with −10: To find the value of f(−10), we need to substitute x with −10 in the function f(x)=9x2−2.
Calculate square of −10: Substitute x with −10: f(−10)=((−10)2−2)/9.
Substitute square into function: Calculate the square of −10: (−10)2=100.
Subtract 2 from 100: Substitute the square of −10 into the function: f(−10)=9(100−2).
Divide 98 by 9: Subtract 2 from 100: 100−2=98.
Round result to nearest ten-thousandth: Divide 98 by 9: 98/9≈10.8889.
Round result to nearest ten-thousandth: Divide 98 by 9: 998≈10.88888888888889. Round the result to the nearest ten-thousandth: 10.88888888888889≈10.8889.
