Find f(1/4)

if f(x)=4x^2-2/3x

please guys explain it to me I cant understand it

f(1/4) = 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x is a function. The name of the function is simply the letter f. It tells you a rule. f(x) is the same as y.

It is the same as having

y = 4x^2 - 2/3 x

For each value of x you are given, you can calculate a corresponding value of y. Instead of calling y, y, we call y "f(x)" which is a way of showing that this relation is a function.

If you were given

y = 4x^2 - 2/3 x and were asked to find the value of y when x = 1/4, what would you do?

You would substitute 1/4 for x in the expression 4x^2 - 2/3 x, and you'd find the value of y.

Being asked to find f(1/4) for function f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x means exactly the same. It means what is the value of the function when x = 1/4? What is the y value corresponding to an x value of 1/4?

Let's calculate it:

f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x

To show we are evaluating the function at an x value of 1/4, we use the notation f(1/4). f(1/4) means find the value of y for function f when x = 1/4. We replace x with 1/4 and do the math.

f(1/4) = 4(1/4)^2 - (2/3)(1/4)

f(1/4) = 4(1/16) - 2/12

f(1/4) = 4/16 - 2/12

f(1/4) = 1/4 - 2/12

f(1/4) = 3/12 - 2/12

f(1/4) = 1/12

16

step-by-step explanation:

2 x 40 = 80

80/5

= 16
