Math Problem Statement

g(x)=x2+4x+1 find following 1:g(2) 2:g(T) 3:(x+2) -x2+4x+1

Solution

Given the function g(x)=x2+4x+1g(x) = x^2 + 4x + 1, let's solve the following:

1. g(2)g(2)

Substitute x=2x = 2 into the function:

g(2)=(2)2+4(2)+1=4+8+1=13g(2) = (2)^2 + 4(2) + 1 = 4 + 8 + 1 = 13

So, g(2)=13g(2) = 13.

2. g(T)g(T)

Substitute x=Tx = T into the function:

g(T)=T2+4T+1g(T) = T^2 + 4T + 1

So, g(T)=T2+4T+1g(T) = T^2 + 4T + 1.

3. g(x+2)x2+4x+1g(x + 2) - x^2 + 4x + 1

First, we need to find g(x+2)g(x+2). As calculated earlier:

g(x+2)=x2+8x+13g(x+2) = x^2 + 8x + 13

Now, subtract x2+4x+1x^2 + 4x + 1 from g(x+2)g(x+2):

g(x+2)(x2+4x+1)=(x2+8x+13)(x2+4x+1)g(x+2) - (x^2 + 4x + 1) = (x^2 + 8x + 13) - (x^2 + 4x + 1)

Simplify the expression by canceling like terms:

=x2+8x+13x24x1=4x+12= x^2 + 8x + 13 - x^2 - 4x - 1 = 4x + 12

So, g(x+2)(x2+4x+1)=4x+12g(x+2) - (x^2 + 4x + 1) = 4x + 12.

Summary:

  1. g(2)=13g(2) = 13
  2. g(T)=T2+4T+1g(T) = T^2 + 4T + 1
  3. g(x+2)x2+4x+1=4x+12g(x+2) - x^2 + 4x + 1 = 4x + 12
