Q. Given the function f(x)=−34x2−32, then what is f(x)−3 as a simplified polynomial?Answer:
Write Function and Expression: Write down the given function and the expression to simplify.We have the function f(x)=−(34)x2−(32). We need to find the expression for f(x)−3.
Subtract 3 from Function: Subtract 3 from the given function f(x). To find f(x)−3, we subtract 3 from each term of the function f(x). f(x)−3=(−(34)x2−(32))−3
Simplify by Combining Like Terms: Simplify the expression by combining like terms. We need to express 3 as a fraction with the same denominator as the other terms to combine them. 3 can be written as (9/3) since 9 divided by 3 equals 3. f(x)−3=(−(4/3)x2−(2/3))−(9/3)
Combine Constant Terms: Combine the constant terms.Now we combine the constant terms (−32) and (−39).f(x)−3=−(34)x2−(32)−(39)f(x)−3=−(34)x2−(311)
