A function is defined as f(x)=x23x+4. What expression can be used to describe f(2x)? Express your answer in simplified form in terms of x.

 

So far, I know that my expression that can be used to describe f(2x) is f(2x)=2x26x+4.

How do I "express my answer in simplified form in terms of x"?

 

Thank you.

$2x^2-6x+4$ is "in simplified form in terms of $x$".

 

You're done already!!!!

If f(x)=x23x+4  then f(2x)=(2x)23(2x)+4  which, when simplified is 4x26x+4
