Answer: $f(2x)=8x^2-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

All that is required here is to substitute x = 2x into the right side in the same way that is done for a numeric value.

$f(2x) = 2(2x)^2-1\\f(2x) = 2(4)x^2-1\\f(2x) = 8x^2-1\\$

What is a radius of a circle given by the equation x²-2x+8y-47=0

Zolol [24]

First, we are going to rewrite it as a parabola equation.
Rewrite.
$8y=-x^2+2x+47$
Divide by 8.
$y=-\frac{x^2}{8}+\frac{x}{4}+\frac{47}{8}$
Factor out coefficient.
$y=-\frac{1}{8}\left(x^2-2x\right)+\frac{47}{8}$
Then, we are going to convert x into square form.
$y=-\frac{1}{8}\left(x^2-2x+1\right)+\frac{1}{8}\cdot \:1+\frac{47}{8}$
Convert the whole expression into square form.
$y=-\frac{1}{8}\left(x-1\right)^2+\frac{1}{8}\cdot \:1+\frac{47}{8}$
Simplify.
$y=-\frac{1}{8}\left(x-1\right)^2+6$
Subtract 6 from both sides.
$y-6=-\frac{1}{8}\left(x-1\right)^2$
Divide by coefficient.
$-8\left(y-6\right)=\left(x-1\right)^2$
Rewrite in standard form.
$4\left(-2\right)\left(y-6\right)=\left(x-1\right)^2$

The radius of the circle will be -2. Also, no matter what the sign says, the radius has to always be positive.
Have a nice day! :)

-2(5x-1) + 7(5x-1) - 3(-5x+1)

LuckyWell [14K]

First you would distribute through the parenthesis
-10x+2+7(5x-1)-3(-5x+1)
Then distribute
-10x+2+35x-7-3(-5x+1)
And then distribute 3
-10x+2+35x-7+15x-3
Collect like terms
40x+2-7-3
40x-8 is your answer :)
