Question

The function f is defined by f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals x to the power of 2 end exponent minus 5 x plus 6. What is the value of f(4) ?

  1. 0  
  2. 2  
  3. 12  
  4. 30  

The correct answer is: 2


    For a given function f (x), the value of f (4) is calculated by substituting x = 4 in the equation.
    Step-by-step solution:-
    f (x) = x2 - 5x + 6
    f (4) = 42 - 5(4) + 6
    ∴ f (4) = 16 - 20 + 6
    ∴ f (4) = 2
    Final Answer:-
    After substituting x = 4 in the given function, we get f (4) = 2
    Hence, Option B i.e. 2 is the correct solution.
