On a camping trip with friends, you read about mosquito activity after dark. The number of mosquitos in your campground can be m
odeled using the function g(x) = x4 + 6x2 + 2x − 11, where x is the number of hours after sunset. You go out to build a campfire 3 hours after sunset. How many mosquitos are in your campground? 0
54
66
130
If you follow PEMDAS, and x = 3, then you get 54. As an example, x4 is 12. You change X to 3, then multiply (3)4=12. If you follow the rest of the equation, you get 54.
