Comparison of Function Values at Different Points

Medium Quantitative Comparisons Functions

Consider the function defined by $$f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 1$$.

We want to compare the values of this function at two different points:

1. $$f(3)$$

2. $$f(-1)$$

Which of the following statements is true regarding the values of $$f(3)$$ and $$f(-1)$$?

$$f(3) > f(-1)$$

$$f(3) = f(-1)$$

$$f(3) < f(-1)$$

The values cannot be determined without further information.
