Question

If g(x) = x2 + 2, find g(3).

9

8

11

6

Answer 1

11

Answer 2

All you have to do is plug in 3 for x.

Answer 3

then how is it 11?

Answer 4

g(3)=(3)2+2
g(3)=6+2
g(3)=8
the answer is not 11

Answer 5

is it 4? @Rosa34

Answer 6

2

Answer 7

First off,stop guessing answers, it's not going to help :\

Answer 8

No @shahbaaz786 it is 8

Answer 9

you are done solving after that step

Answer 10

isnt ir if g=2 THEN 2X2X2 EQUALS 8 RIGHT ?

Answer 11

What @Rosa34 is saying is \(\large g(x) = x^2 +2\) and \(\large x=3\) so wherever you see an x in your equation for \(g(x)\) you plug in 3.

Answer 12

\[\large g(3) = (3)^2 +2 = 9 +2 = 11\]

Answer 13

x2 does not mean 2x.

Answer 14

@Jhannybean are you giving him an example?

Answer 15

Nope. He lazily copy pasted the problem. Its supposed to say \(x^2\) but when you copy paste over the question it comes out as x2.

If it really was 2(x)he would have written it 2x and not x2.

Answer 16

@Jhannybean that makes since i just thought he wrote it backwards. Nice looking out.

Answer 17

No problem

Answer 18

so then the answer wrong

Answer 19

?

Answer 20

Your answer is not 4, or 8.

Answer 21

so its 6 ?

Answer 22

@shahbaaz786 yes that answer is wrong because it was the wrong equation. is that the equation you want me to answer If g(x) = x2 + 2, find g(3).

Answer 23

so is it 6?

Answer 24

We're not here to give you answers. You can follow what we've done in the posts above to figure out how to solve the problem.

Answer 25

Ok i'm confused now what equation are we solving?

Answer 26

i did on my paper and i got 6

Answer 27

Can you show us how you got 6?

Answer 28

how?

Answer 29

@Jhannybean is right can u type how you solved it and we'll tell you if you did the work right or not.

Answer 30

how i don't know the right keys on the mac

Answer 31

r u guys gonna reply ?

Answer 32

just type up what you wrote in the text box :)

Answer 33

its too complicated ill just guess

Answer 34

@shahbaaz786 your being complicted sk someone to help you at home.

Answer 35

ok ya the answer is correct, but do you now how you got it.

Answer 42

yeah

Answer 43

ok

Answer 44

The answer, once again, is not 8. \[\large (3)^2 +2 = 9 + 2 = 11\]
