Question

Determine g(x-1) for the following function.

 

g(x)=-4^2+4x-5

Answer 1

g(x) = -4x² + 4x - 5

 

g(x - 1) = -4(x - 1)² + 4(x - 1) - 5

Answer 2

Hy Makayla, 

 

Just follow the steps that Michael has shown you and your final answer would be as follows:

 

g(x-1) = -4(x - 1)^2 + 4 (x - 1) - 5

 

= -4 ( x^2 - 2x + 1) + 4x - 4 - 5

 

= -4x^2 + 8x - 4 + 4x - 9

 

= -4x^2 + 12x - 13

 

 

Good luck with the rest of your problems and hope you found my feedback helpful.
