Solution Steps

Solution

Given the quadratic function $f(x) = |ax^2 + bx + c|$, where:

  • $a = 1$
  • $b = 1$
  • $c = 5$ And the value of $x$ is 9.
Step 1: Evaluate the Quadratic Expression

First, we calculate the quadratic expression $ax^2 + bx + c$ for the given value of $x$. Substituting the given values, we get $f(x) = 1(9)^2 + 1(9) + 5 = 95$.

Step 2: Apply Absolute Value

Then, we take the absolute value of the result obtained from step 1. Since the absolute value of any number is its non-negative value, $|f(x)| = |95| = 95$.

Final Answer:

The value of the function $f(x) = |ax^2 + bx + c|$ for $x = 9$ is ^95^.

Solution

Given the quadratic function $f(x) = |ax^2 + bx + c|$, where:

  • $a = 1$
  • $b = 1$
  • $c = 5$ And the value of $x$ is -5.
Step 1: Evaluate the Quadratic Expression

First, we calculate the quadratic expression $ax^2 + bx + c$ for the given value of $x$. Substituting the given values, we get $f(x) = 1(-5)^2 + 1(-5) + 5 = 25$.

Step 2: Apply Absolute Value

Then, we take the absolute value of the result obtained from step 1. Since the absolute value of any number is its non-negative value, $|f(x)| = |25| = 25$.

Final Answer:

The value of the function $f(x) = |ax^2 + bx + c|$ for $x = -5$ is ^25^.
