If (p(x)=6x-11), what is (p(x+2))?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(6x+1\)
Substitute the entire expression \(x+2\) for \(x\): \(p(x+2)=6(x+2)-11=6x+12-11=6x+1\). Hence, \(6x+1\) is correct. The option \(6x-9\) results from not multiplying \(2\) correctly by \(6\). Exam tip: always put the substituted expression in brackets.
