Learn how to evaluate a quadratic function for given input values

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate a function by substituting different input values into the function's rule. It demonstrates this process with examples, including evaluating the function at -2, 0, and -1. The instructor emphasizes the importance of understanding input-output relationships and addresses common questions and errors. The tutorial is part of a review, as indicated by its inclusion in a summer packet.

Discuss why the outputs for the evaluated functions were positive.

What was the original problem that needed to be evaluated as f of 1?
