Question

f(x) = x^2 - 6x}
plug in to find the answers.
x=-1
x=0
x=1
x=3
x=5

Answer 1

To evaluate the function \( f(x) = x^2 - 6x \) for the given values of \( x \), we substitute each value into the function. Let's calculate:

1. For \( x = -1 \):
\[
f(-1) = (-1)^2 - 6(-1) = 1 + 6 = 7
\]

2. For \( x = 0 \):
\[
f(0) = 0^2 - 6(0) = 0 - 0 = 0
\]

3. For \( x = 1 \):
\[
f(1) = (1)^2 - 6(1) = 1 - 6 = -5
\]

4. For \( x = 3 \):
\[
f(3) = (3)^2 - 6(3) = 9 - 18 = -9
\]

5. For \( x = 5 \):
\[
f(5) = (5)^2 - 6(5) = 25 - 30 = -5
\]

Now let's summarize the results:

- \( f(-1) = 7 \)
- \( f(0) = 0 \)
- \( f(1) = -5 \)
- \( f(3) = -9 \)
- \( f(5) = -5 \)
