Question

Given the function g(x) = 2x^2 + 4, find the indicated values.

a. g(-8)
b. g(-1)
c. g(4)

a) g(-8) = 132
b) g(-1) = 6
c) g(4) = 36
d) none of the above

Answer 1

To find the indicated values for the function g(x) = 2x^2 + 4, substitute the given values into the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the indicated values for the function g(x) = 2x^2 + 4, we substitute the given values into the function:

a. g(-8) = 2(-8)^2 + 4 = 2(64) + 4 = 128 + 4 = 132

b. g(-1) = 2(-1)^2 + 4 = 2(1) + 4 = 2 + 4 = 6

c. g(4) = 2(4)^2 + 4 = 2(16) + 4 = 32 + 4 = 36
