evaluate 2x^2-1 when x=3

[tex] \sf{\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}} [/tex]
Let's evaluate ~
[tex]\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 2 {x}^{2} - 1[/tex]
plug in the value of x :
[tex]\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 2(3) {}^{2} - 1[/tex]
[tex]\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 2(9) - 1[/tex]
[tex]\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 18 - 1[/tex]
[tex]\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: 17[/tex]
The required value is 17

Answer: [tex]\textsf{Option B, 17}[/tex]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given: [tex]\textsf{2x}^2\textsf{ - 1}[/tex]
Find: [tex]\textsf{When x = 3}[/tex]
Solution: In order to find the value when x is equal to 3 we just need to equate any x to the value of 3 and simplify.
Plug in the values
Simplify the expression
Therefore, the answer that would make most sense would be option B, 17.
