Evaluate Using the Given Value f(2)=4(2)^2-2*2

$f (2) = 4 {(2)}^{2} - 2 \cdot 2$

Step 1

Simplify each term.

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

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

Multiply $4$ by $4$ .

$f (2) = 16 - 2 \cdot 2$

Multiply $- 2$ by $2$ .

$f (2) = 16 - 4$

Step 2

Subtract $4$ from $16$ .

$f (2) = 12$
