Solution Steps

To solve for the indicated values of the function \( f(x) = \sqrt{2x - 10} \):

  1. Substitute the given value of \( x \) into the function.
  2. Calculate the expression inside the square root.
  3. Take the square root of the result.
  4. Round the final answer to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
Step 1: Evaluate \( f(10) \)

To find \( f(10) \), we substitute \( x = 10 \) into the function \( f(x) = \sqrt{2x - 10} \):

\[ f(10) = \sqrt{2(10) - 10} \]

Step 2: Simplify the Expression

Now, we simplify the expression inside the square root:

\[ f(10) = \sqrt{20 - 10} = \sqrt{10} \]

Step 3: Calculate the Value

Next, we calculate the numerical value of \( \sqrt{10} \):

\[ \sqrt{10} \approx 3.1623 \]

Rounding this to the nearest hundredth gives us:

\[ \sqrt{10} \approx 3.16 \]

Final Answer

Thus, the value of \( f(10) \) is

\[ \boxed{3.16} \]
