Answer

a) -4 b) 1 c) -3 d) -3x^{2}-2x-4 e) -3x^{2}-2x+4 f) 3x^{2}+8x+1 g) 12x^{2}+4x-4 h) 3x^{2}+6xh+3h^{2}+2x+2h-4

Work Step by Step

a) f(0) = 3(0)^{2}+2(0)-4 = 0+0-4 = -4 b) f(1) = 3(1)^{2}+2(1)-4 = 3+2-4 = 1 c) f(-1) = 3(-1)^{2}+2(-1)-4 = 3-2-4 = -3 d) f(-x) = 3(-x)^{2}+2(-x)-4 = 3x^{2}-2x-4 e) -f(x) = -1( 3x^{2}+2x-4 ) =-3x^{2}-2x+4 f) f(x+1) = 3(x+1)^{2}+2(x+1)-4 = 3(x^{2}+2x+1)+2(x+1)-4 = 3x^{2}+8x+1 g) f(2x) = 3(2x)^{2}+2(2x)-4 = 3(4x^{2}) +4x-4 = 12x^{2}+4x-4 h) f(x+h) = 3(x+h)^{2}+2(x+h)-4 = 3(x^{2}+2xh+h^{2})+2x+2h-4 = 3x^{2}+6xh+3h^{2}+2x+2h-4
