Question

h(x)=-3x^2-6 find h(x+5)

Answer 1

Simply substitute the x in h(x) with x+5 instead: h(x+5)=-3(x+5)^2-6

Answer 2

so solve -3(x+5)^2-6 ??

Answer 3

What do you mean by solve? The question doesn't ask you to solve for anything.

Answer 4

so gven h(x+5)=-3(x+5)^2-6 what would be the next thing i do square the x+5 ?

Answer 5

If you want, yes. That would just be further simplifying h(x+5) after you've already found it.

Answer 6

so what would i do with the h(x+5) on the left hand side ?

Answer 7

this would be -3(x^2+10x+25)-6
which is -3x^2-30x-81, end.

Answer 8

Nothing. The whole point is to get h(x+5) since your questions asks us to "find h(x+5)."

Answer 9

nothing, just leave it, this is what h(x+5) is equal to

Answer 10

okay thanks
