Use the following function rule to find f(6).

Question

f(x) =

x
− 12
)
2


f(6) =

Answer 1

To find \( f(6) \) using the function rule \( f(x) = (x - 12)^2 \), you need to substitute \( x \) with \( 6 \).

So,

\[ f(6) = (6 - 12)^2 \]

Now, calculate the expression inside the parentheses:

\[ 6 - 12 = -6 \]

Next, square the result:

\[ (-6)^2 = 36 \]

Thus,

\[ f(6) = 36 \]

Therefore, the answer is \( f(6) = 36 \).
