Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the function g(x) = 7x^2 - 4x for g(3).

Solution

The image shows a question asking to evaluate the function g(x)=7x24xg(x) = 7x^2 - 4x for g(3)g(3).

Let's calculate it:

Step 1: Substitute x=3x = 3 into the function.

g(3)=7(3)24(3)g(3) = 7(3)^2 - 4(3)

Step 2: Simplify the terms.

g(3)=7(9)12g(3) = 7(9) - 12 g(3)=6312g(3) = 63 - 12

Step 3: Final result.

g(3)=51g(3) = 51

Thus, g(3)=51g(3) = 51.

  2. How do quadratic terms affect the shape of the graph of a function?
  3. How would the result change if you evaluated g(x)g(x) at a negative value like g(2)g(-2)?
  4. What would happen to the function if the coefficient of x2x^2 changed?
  5. Can you solve for xx when g(x)=0g(x) = 0 in this case?

Tip: Always simplify the powers first when substituting values into a function.
