Given the function rule f(x) = x2 - 5x + 1, what is the output of f(-3)? (1 point)

7
-5
25
5

1 answer

To find the output of f(-3), we substitute x = -3 in the given function rule, i.e.,

f(-3) = (-3)^2 - 5(-3) + 1

f(-3) = 9 + 15 + 1

f(-3) = 25

Therefore, the output of f(-3) is 25.

Hence, the correct option is C) 25.
