Explanation

Choice D is correct. It's given that the function f is defined by fx=5x2. Substituting 8 for x in fx=5x2 yields f8=582, which is equivalent to f8=564, or f8=320. Therefore, the value of f8 is 320 .

Choice A is incorrect. This is the value of f8 if fx=5x.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the value of f8 if fx=5x+2.

Choice C is incorrect. This is the value of f8 if fx=5x2.
