Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Set up the equation based on the function and given value.
  • Step 2: Solve the quadratic equation considering both positive and negative roots.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Set up the equation based on the given condition. We know that
f(x)=x2 f(x) = x^2 and we need f(?)=64 f(?) = 64 . So we equate:
x2=64 x^2 = 64 .

Step 2: Solve for x x using the square root rule, which tells us that if x2=a x^2 = a , then x=±a x = \pm\sqrt{a} .

Applying this to our equation:
x=±64 x = \pm\sqrt{64} .
Calculate the square root: 64=8 \sqrt{64} = 8 .
Therefore, the solutions are x=8 x = 8 and x=8 x = -8 .

Thus, we have f(8)=64 f(8) = 64 and f(8)=64 f(-8) = 64 .

Among the given choices, f(8) f(8) and f(8) f(-8) is the correct choice.

Therefore, the missing value is f(8) f(8) and f(8) f(-8) .
