If f(x) = 3x^2 - 2x + 5, what is the value of f(2)?

  1. 16

  2. 15

  3. 6

  4. 5

The correct answer is: 16

When finding the value of f(2), we plug in 2 for x in the given function, resulting in f(2) = 3(2)^2 - 2(2) + 5 = 16. Option B, 15, is incorrect because the 2 should be squared before being multiplied by 3, resulting in 12. Option C, 6, is incorrect because the -2 should not be multiplied by 2, resulting in 1. Option D, 5, is incorrect because the -2 should not be multiplied by 2, resulting in 1, and 1 + 5 = 6, not 5. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 16.
