Question

A student turned in the following work that was not correct. Explain the mistake the student made?

Original Problem:
f(x)=4x12*2, if f(x) = 2
Student Work:
Step 1: f(x) = 4x12^x
Step 2: f(x) = 4x12²
Step 3: 482
Step 4: 2304

Answer 1

f(x)=576

Explanation:

plug 2 in for x

so the equation looks like this: f(2)=4(12^2)

then start off with multiplying 12 to the 2nd power

after that multiply that answer by 4

now you have your answer and should have 576
