If a and h are real numbers, find the following values for the given function. f(x) = 10 x2 (a) f(a) (b) f(a) (c) f(a) (d) f(a + h) (e) f(a) + f(h)
Solution
Given f(x) =10 -x^2
a) we have to find f(a)
we will substitute x =a
f(a) = 10 - a^2
b) for f(-a) we will substitute x =-a
f(-a) = 10 -(-a)^2
f(-a) =10 -a^2
f(-a) =f(a) =10 -a^2
c) -f(a) =-(10 -a^2)
- f(a) = a^2 -10
d) f(a+h) = 10 -(a+h)^2
f(a+h) =10 -(a^2 +h^2 +2ah)
f(a+h) = 10 -a^2 -h^2 -2ah
e) f(a) +f(h) = (10 -a^2) +(10 -h^2)
f(a) +f(h) = 20 -a^2 -h^2
