Math Problem Statement

f(x) = x2 − 2x + 5 4f(x)

Solution

To find 4f(x)4f(x) when f(x)=x22x+5f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 5, you need to multiply the entire function f(x)f(x) by 4.

4f(x)=4×(x22x+5)4f(x) = 4 \times \left( x^2 - 2x + 5 \right)

Distribute the 4:

4f(x)=4x28x+204f(x) = 4x^2 - 8x + 20

So, 4f(x)=4x28x+204f(x) = 4x^2 - 8x + 20.
