which of the following correctly transforms f (x) = x^2 + 9 for x = 2

Question

a. 26
b. 14
c. 25
d. 34

Answer 1

To find the value of $f(x)=x^2+9$ for $x=2$, we will substitute $2$ into the function:

$$f(2)=(2{)}^2+9$$

Calculating $(2{)}^2$:

$$(2{)}^2=4$$

Now adding $9$:

$$f(2)=4+9=13$$

However, the options you provided (26, 14, 25, 34) do not include 13. It seems there may have been a misunderstanding in either the options or the function to evaluate.

Please verify the function or options if you'd like further assistance!
