function f(x) = 3x^2 + 2x + 5: find value of f(0)

[lorimel333]

welll I had the problem f(x)=3x(to the second power) + 2x + 5
I had to find the value of f(0) of the funtion
I got 10. Can someone tell me if they got the same or if they got either 0,5, or 36 instead. Thanks

All you have to do is plug in 0 for x and you can see the answer is 5.

3(0)^2+2(0)+5=5

How did you arrive at an answer of "10"? How did you arrive at the other three answers? (The way you framed your question makes it sound like this a multiple-choice quiz and you were wanting somebody to pick the right answer option for you -- and that surely isn't what you're doing --, is why I ask.)

Thank you!
