Problem

If f(x)=2x2−3x+1f(x)=2x^{2}-3x+1, find the value of f(3)f(3). a) 16 b) 28 c) 10 d) 4
Intuitive explanation

Function evaluation is about substitution—you're replacing the variable xx with a specific number and following the order of operations. Here, you'll plug in x=3x=3 into every place xx appears in f(x)=2x2−3x+1f(x)=2x^2-3x+1, then simplify carefully by handling exponents first, then multiplication, then addition and subtraction.
