Given that f(x) = x 2 + 2, evaluate f(1) + f(5) which is the answer? 38 30 15

your answer is 30

1^2 (raised to the power of 2) +2 is 3

5^2 +2 is 27

5^2=25

1^2=1

add 27+3=30

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)
