Exercise 5 Page 91

Substitute 1.4 for each value of x.

12.432

Practice makes perfect

Using the function f(x), we want to evaluate for the given value, f( 1.4). To do this, we need to substitute 1.4 for x in each instance of the x-variable. Let's take care of the substitution.

f(x)=3x^3-2x+7
f( 1.4)=3( 1.4)^3-2( 1.4)+7
f(1.4)=3(2.744)-2(1.4)+7
f(1.4)=8.232-2(1.4)+7
f(1.4)=8.232-2.8+7
f(1.4)=12.432
