Answer

So, f(2x)=2(3x)2+3.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we evaluate f(3) by substituting 3 into the function f(x)=2(x+1)2+3. This gives us f(3)=2((3)+1)2+3=2(2)2+3=2(4)+3=8+3=5.

Step 2 :So, f(3)=5.

Step 3 :f(3) represents the y-coordinate of the point on the graph where x=3.

Step 4 :Next, we calculate f(1)f(0). We first find f(1)=2(1+1)2+3=2(2)2+3=2(4)+3=8+3=5 and f(0)=2(0+1)2+3=2(1)+3=2+3=1. So, f(1)f(0)=51=6.

Step 5 :So, f(1)f(0)=6.

Step 6 :Then, we calculate 3f(2)5. We first find f(2)=2(2+1)2+3=2(3)2+3=2(9)+3=18+3=15. So, 3f(2)5=3(15)5=455=50.

Step 7 :So, 3f(2)5=50.

Step 8 :Finally, we calculate f(2x). We substitute 2x into the function f(x)=2(x+1)2+3 to get f(2x)=2((2x)+1)2+3=2((2x)+1)2+3=2(3x)2+3.

Step 9 :So, f(2x)=2(3x)2+3.
