Use the following function rule to find f(5).

Question

f(x) =
(
–10 +
x
)
2


f(5) =

Answer 1

To find \( f(5) \) using the given function rule \( f(x) = (-10 + x)^2 \), we will substitute \( x = 5 \) into the function.

1. Start with the function: \[ f(x) = (-10 + x)^2 \]

2. Substitute \( 5 \) for \( x \): \[ f(5) = (-10 + 5)^2 \]

3. Calculate inside the parentheses: \[ -10 + 5 = -5 \]

4. Now square the result: \[ f(5) = (-5)^2 = 25 \]

So, the value of \( f(5) \) is \( \boxed{25} \).
