Find [tex]$f(0)$[/tex] when [tex]$f(x) = x^2 - 4x - 7$[/tex].

A. [tex]-7[/tex]
B. [tex]-11[/tex]
C. [tex]49[/tex]
D. [tex]7[/tex]

Answer :

To find [tex]\( f(0) \)[/tex] for the function [tex]\( f(x) = x^2 - 4x - 7 \)[/tex], we'll substitute [tex]\( x = 0 \)[/tex] into the function.

Here are the steps:

1. Start with the function:
[tex]\[
f(x) = x^2 - 4x - 7
\][/tex]

2. Substitute [tex]\( x = 0 \)[/tex] into the function:
[tex]\[
f(0) = 0^2 - 4 \times 0 - 7
\][/tex]

3. Simplify the expression:
[tex]\[
f(0) = 0 - 0 - 7 = -7
\][/tex]

Therefore, the value of [tex]\( f(0) \)[/tex] is [tex]\(-7\)[/tex].
