Set 2: Polynomial Functions (Intermediate)

Explanation

Answer: A

PROBLEM

If f(x) = 3x squared + 2x + 4, find f(2).

If f(x) = 3x squared + 2x + 4, find f(2).

A.

20

✓ Correct
B.

21

C.

22

D.

40

Detailed Explanation

Choice A is the best answer. f(2) = 3(2) squared + 2(2) + 4 = 20

Why others are wrong:
B: 21 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
C: 22 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
D: 40 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
