f(x-2)=4((x-2)+1)^2-3=4(x-1)^2-3.
So basicly you just replace the x with the value between brackets.

Okay, I was understanding that but, I couldn't figure out what the equation would be

math&ing001 · Answer

Which equation are talking about ?

anonymous · Answer

f(2x)

math&ing001 · Answer

That would be f(2x)=4(2x+1)^2-3

anonymous · Answer

Okay, I see how it works.  Thank you!

you're welcome !

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

In that equation, why is there two "=4's"
