Given the function f(x) = −5x2 + 2x + 9, find f(1) and f(2). Choose the statement that is true concerning these two values. The value of f(1) cannot be compared to the value of f(2).
The value of f(2) is larger than the value of f(1).
The value of f(2) is smaller than the value of f(1).
The value of f(1) is the same as the value of f(2).

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the given value into the function and evaluate.

f (1)  =6f (2) = −7

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
