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

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

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):

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?

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):
