Functions. Help writing the formation correctly. See attached

OpenStudy (3mar):

For the first box: just replace every x with x+1 \[H(x+1)=8(x+1)^2+8(x+1)-5\] For the second one: replace every x with -x; \[H(-x)=8(-x+1)^2+8(-x+1)\] Any help ... any time

OpenStudy (danjs):

Yes @3mar is right on the first one H(x + 1) For the second, it asks for H(-x) H(-x) = 8*(-x)^2 + 8*(-x) - 5 = 8x^2 - 8x - 5

OpenStudy (amy2012):

@3mar those are the answers I got and it said they were wrong

OpenStudy (danjs):

And they want you to expand them out, put into a form ax^2 + bx + c

OpenStudy (amy2012):

@DanJS the answer for the 2nd box you gave is correct...1st one is still wrong??

OpenStudy (danjs):

H(x+1)=8(x+1)^2+8(x+1)-5 = 8 * (x^2 + 2x + 1) + (8x + 8) - 5 = 8x^2 + 16x + 8 + 8x + 8 - 5 = 8x^2 + 24x + 11

OpenStudy (3mar):

Sorry Amy2012 and DanJS It is the fault of the equation editor. again the second box \[H(-x)=(-x)^2+8(-x)-5\] then simplify \[H(x)=x^2-8x-5\] Sorry

OpenStudy (danjs):

it says to not used parenthesis, so i assume you have to do that, in form ax^2 + bx + c

OpenStudy (3mar):

Thanks, DanJS

OpenStudy (danjs):

Welcome, Does that go through good? H(x + 1) = 8x^2 + 24x + 11

OpenStudy (3mar):

Correct, DanJS .
