Question

If P(x) =3X^2-4 find the value of p(8a) Number 11

Answer 1

We are given the following function:

$p(x)=3x^2-4$

We are asked to determine the value of p(8a). That means that we will substitute the value of "x = 8a" in the function, like this:

$p(8a)=3(8a)^2-4$

Now, we solve the exponents using the following property:

$(ab)^x=a^xb^x$

Applying the property we get:

$p(8a)=3(8^2a^2)-4$

Solving the products we get:

$p(8a)=192a^2-4$

Since we can't simplify any further this is the final answer.
