Question

Evaluate A(x) = 3x^2 – 4x + 2 if x = -2.

A. 22
B. -2
C. 6
D. -14

Answer 1

The value of A(x) when x = -2 is 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate A(x) = 3x^2 – 4x + 2 when x = -2, we substitute -2 for x in the expression:

A(-2) = 3(-2)^2 – 4(-2) + 2

= 3(4) + 8 + 2

= 12 + 8 + 2

= 22

Therefore, the value of A(x) when x = -2 is 22.
