Question #N380
The function *f* is defined by *f*(x) = 2x^2 - 3x + 1. What is the value of *f*(2) + *f*(3)?
A. 11
B. 14
C. 17
D. 20
Correct Answer is: C
To find *f*(2), we substitute 2 for *x* in the function: *f*(2) = 2(2)^2 - 3(2) + 1 = 8 - 6 + 1 = 3. To find *f*(3), we substitute 3 for *x* in the function: *f*(3) = 2(3)^2 - 3(3) + 1 = 18 - 9 + 1 = 10. Therefore, *f*(2) + *f*(3) = 3 + 10 = 13.
