For this question we are given a function, so the function was defined as x squared plus 5x minus 1.
00:09
So what do we have to find? so in the first part we have to find f of 3x.
00:17
So what that means? you have to take this 3x and plug into the place of the x here.
00:26
So if i plug in 3x for x, we will get 3x bracket squared and plus 5 times 3x and minus 1 here.
00:35
Let's simplify.
00:36
The square of the 3x is 9x squared plus 15x and minus 1 here.
00:42
There is no further simplification here, we just leave the answer as this one here.
00:48
This is the answer for the first one.
00:51
And the next one, we need to get the f of x minus 8.
00:55
So in this case we're going to take this x minus 8 and plug in 4x for the equation.
01:01
Which means if i just write this x minus 8 instead of x, i can write this as x minus 8 bracket squared and 5 times bracket x minus 8 and minus 1 here.
01:13
Let's take the square of this number which is x squared minus 16x plus 64...
