SOLUTION: can somebody help me solve this problem: if {{{f(x)=3x^2-2}}} then find f(x+h)? this is what i did...i plug in the f(x+h) in the f(x) function, so {{{3(x+h)^2-2}}}, i got 3x+3

: can somebody help me solve this problem: if then find f(x+h)?
this is what i did...i plug in the f(x+h) in the f(x) function,
so , i got 3x+3h-2,but i'm not sure if this is the right answer,because 3x is raised to the 2nd power in the f(x)...please tell me if i'm wrong This question is from textbook college algebra
