7. Expand and reduce A(x). Then calculate A(x) for x=1.
A (x) = (3x – 3)(3x + 2)


Sagot :

Given:

The function is

[tex]A(x)=(3x-3)(3x+2)[/tex]

To find:

The simplified form of A(x) and value of A(x) at x=1.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]A(x)=(3x-3)(3x+2)[/tex]

[tex]A(x)=(3x)(3x)+(3x)(2)+(-3)(3x)+(-3)(2)[/tex]

[tex]A(x)=9x^2+6x-9x-6[/tex]

[tex]A(x)=9x^2-3x-6[/tex]

Putting x=1, we get

[tex]A(1)=9(1)^2-3(1)-6[/tex]

[tex]A(1)=9-3-6[/tex]

[tex]A(1)=9-9[/tex]

[tex]A(1)=0[/tex]

Therefore, the simplified form of A(x) is [tex]A(x)=9x^2-3x-6[/tex] and the value of A(x) at x=1 in 0.
