Answer:

I(x) = 12x² + 8x + 5

Explanation:

* Lets talk about the solution

- P(x) is a quadratic function represented graphically by a parabola

- The general form of the quadratic function is f(x) = ax² + bx + c,

where a is the coefficient of x² and b is the coefficient of x and c is

the y-intercept

- To find I(x) from P(x) change each x in P by 2x

∵ P(x) is dilated to I(x) by change x by 2x

∵ I(x) = P(2x)

∵ P(x) = 3x² + 4x + 5

∴ I(x) = 3(2x)² + 4(2x) + 5 ⇒ simplify

∵ (2x)² = (2)² × (x)² = 4 × x² = 4x²

∵ 4(2x) = 8x

∴ I(x) = 3(4x²) + 8x + 5

∵ 3(4x²) = 12x²

∴ I(x) = 12x² + 8x + 5
