How do I find (f(x))^2

Question

preform the indicated operation using the functions f(x)+4x+.5

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

You just want to square the expression f(x), so that means taking

(4x + 0.5)^2

=(4x + 0.5)(4x + 0.5)

=16x^2 + 2x + 2x + 0.25

=16x^2 + 4x + 0.25

I hope that helps you get moving in a better direction on this type of question! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

Is f(x) = 4x + .5 ? If so: Just multiply it by itself i.e. (f(x))(f(x)) = (4x + .5)(4x + .5). From here just carry out the multiplication.
