Explanation

Choice A is correct. The value of f0 is the value of fx when x = 0 . The function f is defined by fx=10x2-32x-152. Substituting 0 for x in this equation yields f0=1002-320-152. This equation can be rewritten as f0=100-0-152, or f0=-152. Therefore, the value of f0 is - 152 .

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

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

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