Question

how do i do p(a)= a(squared)-5; find p(2a) and please do it in steps because i need help with a bunch of these

Answer 1

All you do is plug in 2a for the a. So p(2a) = (2a)^2 - 5

Answer 2

so for the first part is it 2ap?

Answer 3

No, it is p(2a) because that is just a form of notation, not multiplication.

Answer 4

ok so would the answer be p=4a^2-5?

Answer 5

like just the a squared

Answer 6

yes except proper notation is p(2a) not just p.

Answer 7

ahh i see thank you so much for your help will definitely give you a best response so much gratitude
