Math Problem Statement

Patrick is practicing evaluating functions. He is using the following functions.  

f(x) = −6 + 14x  g(x) = (2x + 9)2  

He evaluates the functions for f(7) and g(−3). What values will he calculate?

Select TWO correct answers.

A.9

B.225

C.−28

D.104

E.92

Solution

To solve this problem, we'll evaluate both functions f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) for the given values f(7)f(7) and g(3)g(-3).

Step-by-Step Evaluation:

  1. Evaluate f(x)=6+14xf(x) = -6 + 14x for x=7x = 7:

f(7)=6+147f(7) = -6 + 14 \cdot 7

Calculate:

f(7)=6+98=92f(7) = -6 + 98 = 92

So, f(7)=92f(7) = 92.

  1. Evaluate g(x)=(2x+9)2g(x) = (2x + 9)^2 for x=3x = -3:

g(3)=(2(3)+9)2g(-3) = (2 \cdot (-3) + 9)^2

Simplify inside the parentheses:

g(3)=(6+9)2=(3)2=9g(-3) = ( -6 + 9 )^2 = (3)^2 = 9

So, g(3)=9g(-3) = 9.

Conclusion:

The correct answers are:

  • A. 9 (for g(3)g(-3))
  • E. 92 (for f(7)f(7))

Would you like more details or have any questions about this solution?

Here are some additional questions for practice:

  1. What is the value of f(x)=3x5f(x) = 3x - 5 for x=10x = 10?
  2. Evaluate g(x)=x2+4x+1g(x) = x^2 + 4x + 1 for x=2x = -2.
  3. Determine h(x)=x+7h(x) = \sqrt{x + 7} for x=2x = 2.
  4. If k(x)=5x8k(x) = 5x - 8, find k(0)k(0).
  5. Solve for f(x)=2x2+3x4f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x - 4 when x=1x = -1.

Tip: Substitute the given values into the functions and simplify step by step to evaluate correctly.
