Question

What is the resulting ordered if the value of the independent variable is -2? F(x)=2x^2+3x^2

Answer 1

In other words, y=2x^2+3x^2 for x= -2

Answer 2

Substitute -2 into the equation**

Answer 3

When you do that it becomes:
y= 2(-2)^2+3(-2)^2

Answer 4

When you evaluate the exponents it becomes:
y= 2(4)+3(4)
