Problema 8

Capitolo 3, Problema 8

Evaluate each function at the given values of the independent variable and simplify. g(x) = 3x^2 - 5x + 2 (a) g(0), (b) g(-2), (c) g(x-1), (d) g(-x)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Substitute the given value of x into the function g(x) = 3x^2 - 5x + 2 for each part of the problem.

For part (a), substitute x = 0 into the function: g(0) = 3(0)^2 - 5(0) + 2. Simplify the expression to find the result.

For part (b), substitute x = -2 into the function: g(-2) = 3(-2)^2 - 5(-2) + 2. Simplify the expression by squaring -2, multiplying, and combining like terms.

For part (c), substitute x = (x-1) into the function: g(x-1) = 3(x-1)^2 - 5(x-1) + 2. Expand (x-1)^2, distribute the constants, and combine like terms to simplify.

For part (d), substitute x = -x into the function: g(-x) = 3(-x)^2 - 5(-x) + 2. Simplify by squaring -x, distributing constants, and combining like terms.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Function Evaluation

Function evaluation involves substituting a specific value for the independent variable in a function to find the corresponding output. For example, in the function g(x) = 3x^2 - 5x + 2, evaluating g(0) means replacing x with 0, resulting in g(0) = 3(0)^2 - 5(0) + 2 = 2.

Evaluating Composed Functions

Polynomial Functions

A polynomial function is a mathematical expression that involves variables raised to whole number powers, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication. The function g(x) = 3x^2 - 5x + 2 is a quadratic polynomial, characterized by its highest degree of 2, which influences its graph's shape and behavior.
