Answer explanation

Choice C is correct. It’s given that the function f is defined by fx=25x+30. Substituting 2 for x in this equation yields f2=252+30, which is equivalent to f2=50+30, or f2=80. Therefore, the value of fx is 80 when x=2.

Choice A is incorrect. This is the value of 252, not 252+30.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the value of 25+2+30, not 252+30.

Choice D is incorrect. This is the value of 25+302, not 252+30.
