Math Problem Statement

x²-2x find g(x+5)

Solution

To find g(x+5)g(x+5) when g(x)=x22xg(x) = x^2 - 2x, follow these steps:

  1. Substitute x+5x+5 into the function g(x)g(x): g(x+5)=(x+5)22(x+5)g(x+5) = (x+5)^2 - 2(x+5)

  2. Expand the squared term: (x+5)2=x2+10x+25(x+5)^2 = x^2 + 10x + 25 So, g(x+5)=x2+10x+252(x+5)g(x+5) = x^2 + 10x + 25 - 2(x+5)

  3. Distribute and simplify: g(x+5)=x2+10x+252x10g(x+5) = x^2 + 10x + 25 - 2x - 10

  4. Combine like terms: g(x+5)=x2+8x+15g(x+5) = x^2 + 8x + 15

So, g(x+5)=x2+8x+15g(x+5) = x^2 + 8x + 15.
