Q. Given the function f(x)=x−23, then what is f(x+2) as a simplified polynomial?Answer:
Substitute x with (x+2): Substitute x with (x+2) in the function f(x). We have the function f(x)=x−23. To find f(x+2), we replace every x in the function with (x+2). f(x+2)=(x+2)−23
Simplify the expression: Simplify the expression.Now we simplify the expression by combining like terms.f(x+2)=x+2−23To subtract 23 from 2, we need a common denominator. The common denominator is 2, so we convert 2 to 24.f(x+2)=x+24−23
Combine like terms: Continue simplifying by combining the fractions.Now we subtract the fractions.f(x+2)=x+(24−23)f(x+2)=x+21
