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!

hey seth! : )

i’m not 100% sure, but i think it’s b

hope this ya : p

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
