Evaluate Using the Given Value f(6)=2(6)^2-7*6

$f (6) = 2 {(6)}^{2} - 7 \cdot 6$

Step 1

Simplify each term.

Raise $6$ to the power of $2$ .

$f (6) = 2 \cdot 36 - 7 \cdot 6$

Multiply $2$ by $36$ .

$f (6) = 72 - 7 \cdot 6$

Multiply $- 7$ by $6$ .

$f (6) = 72 - 42$

Step 2

Subtract $42$ from $72$ .

$f (6) = 30$
