Answer

$\begin{array}{ll} a. & -4\\ b. & 1\\ c. & -3\\ d. & 3x^{2}-2x-4\\ e. & -3x^{2}-2x+4\\ f. & 3x^{2}+8x+1\\ g. & 12x^{2}+4x-4\\ h. & 3x^{2}+6xh+3h^{2}+2x+2h-4 \end{array}$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=3x^{2}+2x-4$ $\begin{array}{lll} (a)\ f(0) & (b)\ f(1) & (c)\ f(-1)\quad \\ =3(0)^{2}+2(0)-4 & =3(1)^{2}+2(1)-4 & =3(-1)^{2}+2(-1)-4\\ =-4 & =3+2-4 & =3-2-4\\ & =1 & =-3 \end{array}$ $\begin{array}{ll} (d)\ f(-x) & (e)\ -f(x)\\ =3(-x)^{2}+2(-x)-4 & =-(3x^{2}+2x-4)\\ =3x^{2}-2x-4\quad & =-3x^{2}-2x+4\\ & \end{array}$ $\begin{array}{lll} (f)\ f(x+1) & (g)\ f(2x) & \\ =3(x+1)^{2}+2(x+1)-4 & =3(2x)^{2}+2(2x)-4 & \\ =3x^{2}+6x+3+2x+2-4 & =12x^{2}+4x-4 & \\ =3x^{2}+8x+1 & & \\ & & \end{array}$ $(h)\ f(x+h)=3(x+h)^{2}+2(x+h)-4$ $=3(x^{2}+2xh+h^{2})+2x+2h-4$ $=3x^{2}+6xh+3h^{2}+2x+2h-4$
