Question: How do you find \(g\left( 3 \right)\) given that \(g\left( x \right)=-2{{x}^{2}}-9\)?...
How do you find g(3) given that g(x)=−2x2−9?
Solution
We try to explain the function and its value at a particular point. For the given function g(x)=−2x2−9, we need to find the value of the function at x=3. This means we are finding g(3) for that particular point.
Complete step-by-step solution:
The given problem is about a given function g(x)=−2x2−9 and the value of the function at that point of x=3 to find g(3).
So, in those cases we find the value of the function by putting the point x=3 in the function of g(x)=−2x2−9.
g(3)=−2×32−9.
Now we apply the common binary operations to find the value for g(3).
We need to find the square value of 3 which gives 32=3×3=9.
We then multiply the value of the square with 2 and get 9×2=18.
Now the equation becomes g(3)=−18−9.
We have two variables −18 and −9. The binary operation between them is addition.
This gives g(3)=−18−9=−27.
Therefore, for the given function g(x)=−2x2−9, the value of g(3) is −27.
Note: The domain of the function has to consist of the value of x=3. The function can give values for only its domain and the values of the function g(x)=−2x2−9 gives the range for that particular function. In this case −27 is an element of the range whereas 3 was an element of the domain.
