Theodore York · Answer 1

f (4x) = (4x) ^2 + 2 (4x) + 3 = 16x^2 + 8x + 3

f (x-3) = (x-3) ^2 + 2 (x-3) + 3 = x^2 - 4x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, you want to evaluate ...

f (4x) f (x-3)

for f (x) = x^2 + 2x + 3.

Put the given argument values in place of the function variable and do the math.

f (4x)

f (4x) = (4x) ^2 + 2 (4x) + 3

= 16x^2 + 8x + 3

__

f (x-3)

f (x-3) = (x-3) ^2 + 2 (x-3) + 3

= x^2 - 6x + 9 + 2x - 6 + 3 = x^2 - 4x + 6
