Evaluate Using the Given Value f(2)=3(2)^2-5*2

$f (2) = 3 {(2)}^{2} - 5 \cdot 2$

Step 1

Simplify each term.

Raise $2$ to the power of $2$ .

$f (2) = 3 \cdot 4 - 5 \cdot 2$

Multiply $3$ by $4$ .

$f (2) = 12 - 5 \cdot 2$

Multiply $- 5$ by $2$ .

$f (2) = 12 - 10$

Step 2

Subtract $10$ from $12$ .

$f (2) = 2$
