Question

f(x)=x^4-x^2+ 1 x=(3a)

Answer 1

f(3a)=3a^4-3a^2+1
f(3a)=81a^4-9a^2+1 is this right and is it final answer

Answer 2

ys, correct! good :)

Answer 3

so how can you graph this

Answer 4

can't u use a graphing calculator or online resource ? or you need intercepts ?

Answer 5

i prolly can use calculater but i dont know how to use it, plus i have to show work....but now as im looking...i wont have to graph this, i think the ones that has to be graphed will be simple

Answer 7

yeah, because, y intercept is easy (x=0 gives y=1, so (0,1))
but for x intercept (y=0), we need to solve 81a^4-9a^2+1=0
and the roots of x are coming to be complex!

Answer 8

here's a graph, if u need

Answer 10

so r u insinuating 81a^4-9a^2+1
is the final answer

Answer 11

evaluate each function at the given value and simplify

Answer 12

thats the directions

Answer 13

f(3a)=81a^4-9a^2+1 is absolutely correct final simplified answer.

Answer 14

when u set it to 0, i thought i was supposed to continue solving

Answer 15

i did that to get intercepts from which we could graph...but if you only want to evaluat, then no need of setting anyting to 0 :)

Answer 16

so u set to 0 because i asked how to graph which isnt necessary....right?

Answer 17

correct.

Answer 18

srry, do yall get paid for helping?

Answer 19

not at all!
we are glad we can help, that happiness is our payment ^_^

Answer 20

No we don't get paid. That's the point in helping.

Answer 21

Not really happiness. Some of us get to meet smart girls and make others look bad here.

Answer 22

Answer 23

@dabeezy We will try our best to help you here.

Answer 24

you can ask here any type of math question you have trouble solving, we will help you if we can.

Answer 25

THIS MAN MEETS GIRLS ON A OPEN STUDY TUTOR WEB SITE SMH, ROTFLMFAO

Answer 26

@dabeezy Yeah well you know.
I'll advise that you try Engineering Math by KA Stroud for starters.

Answer 27

this site has chat facility for social interaction where we can meet boys and girls of any age :)

Answer 28

advertise that what?

Answer 29

....boys and girls and chics.....don't forget the chics.

if you know your way?

Answer 35

Okay, just buy the book if you can. Or watch some online videos and all.

Answer 36

i be doing that sh!t

Answer 38

our teacher dont teach us pellet, erthang ive learned so far been from you tube

Answer 39

@dabeezy Of course. Did you expect your teacher to teach?
Welcome to earth.

Answer 40

i cant afford a 60 dollar book, then try to learn one book while studying my math book

Answer 41

r u serious? in college the teachers dont teach?

Answer 42

That's why I said "if you know your way, you can get it for free".
Maybe back when you were in school, they did, but not very much anymore. No generalization here.

Answer 43

woow. if i knew this before hand, i wouldnt went back to school yet. i wouldve spentt months trying to remember what i forgot first
