Back question 11 of 229 Next

Explanation

Choice B is correct. The value of f144 is the value of fx when x=144. It's given that the function f is defined by fx=4+x. Substituting 144 for x in this equation yields f144=4+144. Since the positive square root of 144 is 12 , it follows that this equation can be rewritten as f144=4+12, or f144=16. Therefore, the value of f144 is 16 .

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice C is incorrect. This is the value of f1,296, not f144.

Choice D is incorrect. This is the value of f5,184, not f144.
