To find \( f(2) \) for the function \( f(x) = 2x^2 - 5x \), we substitute \( x = 2 \) into the function:
\[
f(2) = 2(2)^2 - 5(2)
\]
Calculating each term:
1. \( 2(2)^2 = 2 \cdot 4 = 8 \)
2. \( -5(2) = -10 \)
Now combine these results:
\[
f(2) = 8 - 10 = -2
\]
Thus, \( f(2) = -2 \).
\[
f(2) = 2(2)^2 - 5(2)
\]
Calculating each term:
1. \( 2(2)^2 = 2 \cdot 4 = 8 \)
2. \( -5(2) = -10 \)

\]
Thus, \( f(2) = -2 \).
