If f(x)=3x squared -2x + 1 what is f(x-2)

f(x-2) = 3x^2 - 14x + 17

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is put (x-2) for every x:

3(x-2)^2 - 2(x-2) + 1

Make sure you FOIL (x-2)^2 first:

x^2 - 4x + 4

Now distribute the 3:

3x^2 - 12x + 12

Now distribute the 2 in the 2(x-2):

3x^2 - 12x + 12 - 2x + 4 + 1

Combine like terms:

3x^2 - 14x + 17 = f(x-2)

Hope that helps!

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

8+10

step-by-step explanation:

you multiply 4 by 2 and 5 by 2
