Explanatory Answer | GRE Functions Practice

Step 1 of solving this GRE Functions Question: Compute the value of f(9)

f(x) = x2 + 4
f(9) = 92 + 4 = 85

Step 2 of solving this GRE Functions Question: Compute values for each answer option

Option A: f(3) = 32 + 4 = 13.
13 is not equal to f(9).
Hence, this option is not an answer.


Option B: f(13) = 132 + 4 = 173
173 is not equal to f(9).
Hence, this option is not an answer.
Option C: f(-9) = (-9)2 + 4 = 85
85 is equal to f(9).
Hence, this option is one of the right answers.
Option D: f(f(√5)) = f((√5)2 + 4) = f(9) = 85
85 is equal to f(9).
Hence, this option is one of the right answers.
Option E: f(f(√13)) = f((√13)2 + 4) = f(17) = 172 + 4 = 293
293 is not equal to f(9).
Hence, this option is not an answer.
Option F: f(f(-√5)) = f((-√5)2 + 4) = f(9) = 85
85 is equal to f(9).
Hence, this option is one of the right answers.

Choice C, D, and F are the correct answers
