G(-2) means "evaluate the equation at -2"; it's asking you to swap out the "x" in the equation and sub in -2.
g(x) = x² + 3x - 2 ... plug in -2
g(-2) = (-2)² + 3(-2) - 2 ... simplify
g(-2) = 4 + (-6) - 2 ... add/subtract
g(-2) = -4
Answer: The area is 201.06

Answer:
C. y = 50x + 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
100 miles in 2 hours is 100/2 = 50 miles per hour. Multiplying that rate by x hours gives the miles traveled in addition to the 3.5 miles so far. The appropriate equation for miles traveled is ...
y = 50x +3.5 . . . matches choice C
Lila did it correctly. The answer is 324
Following PEMDAS, we first focus on the parenthesis. So we simplify 9-3 to get 6
So we go from
18*4^2+(9-3)^2
to
18*4^2+6^2
The next step is applying exponents. In this case, squaring the terms, so we go from
18*4^2+6^2
to
18*16+36
Next is multiplying
18*16+36
turns into
288+36
Finally, add up 288 and 36 to get 288+36 = 324
That confirms that Lila is correct
----------------------
The error that Rob made is that he computed 18*4^2+9^2-3^2 but it is NOT correct. Saying (x-y)^2 = x^2-y^2 isn't a true equation for all x and y. Again you have to simplify what is in the parenthesis first, and then you can square it. Or you must use the FOIL rule to expand out (9-3)^2
