f(2)=6f(2)=6

Explanation:

Given equation f(x)=-x^2+8x-6f(x)=x2+8x6 and we need to find f(2)f(2)

f(2)f(2) means that x=2x=2

So, we need to substitute x=2x=2 into f(x)=-x^2+8x-6f(x)=x2+8x6 to get f(2)f(2);

f(x)=-x^2+8x-6f(x)=x2+8x6

f(2)=-(2)^2+8(2)-6f(2)=(2)2+8(2)6

f(2)=-4+16-6f(2)=4+166

f(2)=6f(2)=6
