Question

Given the function g(x)= 2x2+6 find the indicated value

Answer 1

g(-10) = 206, g(-1) = 8, g($\frac{1}{2}$) = 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Take the values given as values of x. The values of x are -10, -1 and $\frac{1}{2}$. We substitute these values in the function g(x). In the function g(x) we substitute the values of -10, -1, $\frac{1}{2}$ in the place of x in g(x). So for g(-10) we substitute the value of -10 in the place of x and get g(-10). Similarly, we do for the other two values and find g(-1) and g($\frac{1}{2}$).

Step 2; Substituting the values in the function we get

g(-10) = $2(-10)^{2}$ + 6 = 2(100) + 6 = 206

g(-1) = $2(-1)^{2}$ + 6 = 2(1) + 6 = 8

g($\frac{1}{2}$) = $2\frac{1}{2} ^{2}$ + 6 = 2$\frac{1}{4}$ + 6 = 0.5 + 6 = 6.5.
