Question 80379: Please help with this problem if you can:
Given f(x)=2x^2-x+3, determine:
a) f(h)
b) f(x+2)
Thanks so much!!!
Answer by tutor_paul(519) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For problems like this when you are told to find "f of something," just plug the "something" into the given equation in place of x:

so if you need f(h), just plug in h.

Similarly for part b, you would have:

I will leave the simplification of the right hand side up to you.
Good Luck,
