Evaluate the function for x = 3a.

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

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

OpenStudy (tester97):

So this is saying to evaluate the function. Which basically means replace x with 3a can you do that?

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

so \[2x ^{2}-3 (3a)+4\]

OpenStudy (tester97):

\[2(3a)^2-3(3a)+4\]

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

okay so um order of operations right

OpenStudy (tester97):

Yup :)

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

okay so \[2(9a)-3(3a)+4\]

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

ugh this is confusing >~<

OpenStudy (tester97):

Yeah thats right keep going

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

18a-9a+4

OpenStudy (tester97):

OH wait actually it would be \[2(9a)^2-3(3a)\] And that would make it \[18a^2-9a+4\]

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

ugh screw math >~< i hate it

OpenStudy (tester97):

Work at it long enough it becomes easy ^_^

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

no it becomes irritating and annoying im never ganna use math in life anyways

OpenStudy (tester97):

Oh sure you are. When you count your money what do you think you are using? :P

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

-.- that dont count

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

anyways 324a-9a+4

OpenStudy (tester97):

Is this a new question? If so please close this thread and make a new post.

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

its the same question\[2(3a)^{2}-3(3a)=4 \rightarrow (9a)^{2} - (9a)+4\rightarrow (18a)^{2} - 9a +4\]

OpenStudy (tester97):

Oh yea 18a^2-9a+4 is the final answer...... i think? @bibby am i right?

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

so the answer is C

OpenStudy (tester97):

I dont know as i have not seen the answer choiices

OpenStudy (bibby):

2(3a)^2-3(3a)+4 2(9a^2)-9a+4 18a^2-9a+4

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

i forgot to post them for a reason i wanted to work it out not get the answer

OpenStudy (tester97):

yup i was right then~

OpenStudy (love.kat123):
