Substitute x in f(x): Next, we will substitute x in f(x) with the value we found, which is 3. f(x)=x2+12x−2 f(3)=32+12⋅3−2
Simplify f(3): Now, let's simplify the numerator and the denominator of f(3).f(3)=9+16−2f(3)=104
Reduce fraction: Finally, we simplify the fraction104 to its simplest form.104 can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2.104=52
