Evaluate the function h (x) = x^4 + x^2 + 1 at the given values of the independent variable and simplify.

a. h(3)
b. h(- 1)
c. h(-x)
d. h(3a)

The values are

a)

b)

c)

d)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the function h is defined by

To find

a) h(3)

Put x=3 in the given function we get

Therefore

b) h(-1)

Put x=-1 in the given function we get

Therefore

c) h(-x)

Put x=-x in the given function we get

Therefore

d) h(3a)

Put x=3a in the given function we get

Therefore

Slope = -4/3

y intercept = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Change the equation given  into slope intercept form

3y +  4x = 12

3y = -4x + 12

y = -4/3 + 12/3

y = -4/3 + 4

m = -4/3   b = 4
