Evaluate Using the Given Value f(9)=0.016(9)^2+0.124(9)+0.787

$f (9) = 0.016 {(9)}^{2} + 0.124 (9) + 0.787$

Step 1

Simplify each term.

Raise $9$ to the power of $2$ .

$f (9) = 0.016 \cdot 81 + 0.124 (9) + 0.787$

Multiply $0.016$ by $81$ .

$f (9) = 1.296 + 0.124 (9) + 0.787$

Multiply $0.124$ by $9$ .

$f (9) = 1.296 + 1.116 + 0.787$

Step 2

Simplify by adding numbers.

Add $1.296$ and $1.116$ .

$f (9) = 2.412 + 0.787$

Add $2.412$ and $0.787$ .

$f (9) = 3.199$
