If k(x)=x²-4 find k(2x)

1 -4
2-x²
3-2x²-4
4-4x²-4

4. 4x² - 4

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

k(x) = x² - 4

k(2x) is x = 2x

Step 2: Evaluate

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down
