Question #N586

The function *f* is defined by *f*(x) = 3x<sup>2</sup> - 5x + 2. What is the value of *f*(2)?
A. 4
B. 6
C. 8
D. 10

Correct Answer is: C

To find *f*(2), we substitute 2 for *x* in the function: *f*(2) = 3(2)<sup>2</sup> - 5(2) + 2 = 3(4) - 10 + 2 = 12 - 8 = 4. Therefore, *f*(2) = 4.
