The value of

$f (0) = - 4 f (1) = 1 f (- 1) = - 3 f (- x) = 3 x^{2} - 2 x - 4 - f (x) = - 3 x^{2} - 2 x + 4 f (x + 1) = 3 x^{2} + 8 x + 1 f (x) = 3 x^{2} + 2 x - 4 f (x + h) = 3 {x^{2} + 6 x h + 3 h}^{2} + 2 x + 2 h - 4$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information

We have to find the value for each function:

(a) f (0) (b) f (1) (c) f (- 1) (d) f (- x) (e) - f (x) (f) f (x + 1) (g) f (x) (h) f (x + h)

The given equation is $f (x) = 3 x^{2} + 2 x - 4$ .

Part (a) Step 1. The given function is f(x)=3x2+2x-4

We find the value of $f (0)$

Part (a) Step 2. Putting x=0 i the given equation.

$f (0) = 3 {(0)}^{2} + 2 \times 0 - 4 f (0) = 0 + 0 - 4 f (0) = - 4$

Part (b) Step 1. We find the value of f(1)Putting x=1 in the given question.

$f (1) = 3 {(1)}^{2} + 2 (1) - 4 f (1) = 3 \times 1 + 2 - 4 f (1) = 3 + 2 - 4 f (1) = 1$

Part (c) Step 1. We find the value of f(-1)Putting x=-1 in the given question.

$f (- 1) = 3 {(- 1)}^{2} + 2 (- 1) - 4 f (- 1) = 3 \times 1 - 2 - 4 f (- 1) = 3 - 2 - 4 f (- 1) = - 3$

Part (d) Step 1. We find the value of f(-x)Putting x=-x in the given question.

$f (- x) = 3 {(- x)}^{2} + 2 (- x) - 4 f (- x) = 3 x^{2} - 2 x - 4$

Part (e) Step 1. We find the value of -f(x)To find the value we multiply the given equation by -1

$- f (x) = - (3 x^{2} + 2 x - 4) - f (x) = - 3 x^{2} - 2 x + 4$

Part (f) Step 1. We find the value of f(x+1)Putting x=x+1 in the given question.

$f (x + 1) = 3 {(x + 1)}^{2} + 2 (x + 1) - 4$

Using the formula ${(a + b)}^{2} = a^{2} + 2 a b + b^{2}$

$f (x + 1) = 3 (x^{2} + 2 x + 1) + 2 x + 2 - 4 f (x + 1) = 3 x^{2} + 6 x + 3 + 2 x + 2 - 4$

Simplify

$f (x + 1) = 3 x^{2} + 8 x + 1$

Part (g) Step 1. We find the value of f(x)

The value of $f (x) = 3 x^{2} + 2 x - 4$

Part (h) Step 1. We find the value of f(x+h)Putting x=x+h in the given question.

$f (x + h) = 3 {(x + h)}^{2} + 2 (x + h) - 4$

Using the formula ${(a + b)}^{2} = a^{2} + 2 a b + b^{2}$

$f (x + h) = 3 {(x^{2} + 2 x h + h}^{2}) + 2 x + 2 h - 4 f (x + h) = 3 {x^{2} + 6 x h + 3 h}^{2} + 2 x + 2 h - 4$
