Problem: j(2a) if j(x)= 1-4x^3
i know that im supposed to substitue the X with 2a but what do i do after that. The (a) is confusing me

Problem: j(2a) if j(x)= 1-4x^3
i know that im supposed to substitue the X with 2a but what do i do after that. The (a) is confusing me
---------------------
That's what you do, sub 2a for x
j(2a) = 1 - 4(2a)^3
= 1 - 4*8a^3
= 1 - 32a^3
