Evaluate the given functions at the indicated value and simplify.

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

For each of these, you just replace x with what's in the parenthesis.

f(-2) = 4(-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 1

f(-2) = 16 + 4 + 1

f(-2) = 21

g(5) =

g(5) =

g(5) =

g(5) = 2

f(3r) = 4(3r)^2 - 2(3r) + 1

f(3r) = 4(9r^2) - 6r + 1

f(3r) = 36r^2 - 6r + 1

f(a+b) = 4(a+b)^2 - 2(a+b) +1

f(a+b) = 4 (a^2 + 2ab + b^2) - 2a - 2b + 1

f(a+b) = 4a^2 + 8ab + 4b^2 - 2a - 2b + 1

-8, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation.

x² + x = 56

Set the equation equal to zero and factor.

x² + x - 56 = 0

(x + 8)(x - 7) = 0

Solve for x.

x + 8 = 0

x = -8

x - 7 = 0

x = 7

The possible x values are -8 and 7.
