Sure! Here’s a simpler version of your calculations that sounds like a 9th grader wrote it:
To find the coordinates for the function \( g(h) = -6h^2 - 2h + h \), I need to plug in some values for \( h \) and calculate the results. Let's do that for \( h = -8, -6, -4, -2, \) and \( 0 \).
-
For \( h = -8 \): \[ g(-8) = -6(-8)^2 - 2(-8) + (-8) \] First, calculate \((-8)^2\): \[ g(-8) = -6(64) + 16 - 8 \] Now, multiply: \[ g(-8) = -384 + 16 - 8 \] Then, add them up: \[ g(-8) = -384 + 8 = -376 \] So, the coordinate is (-8, -376).
-
For \( h = -6 \): \[ g(-6) = -6(-6)^2 - 2(-6) + (-6) \] Calculate \((-6)^2\): \[ g(-6) = -6(36) + 12 - 6 \] Now, multiply: \[ g(-6) = -216 + 12 - 6 \] Add them: \[ g(-6) = -216 + 6 = -210 \] So, the coordinate is (-6, -210).
-
For \( h = -4 \): \[ g(-4) = -6(-4)^2 - 2(-4) + (-4) \] Calculate \((-4)^2\): \[ g(-4) = -6(16) + 8 - 4 \] Now, multiply: \[ g(-4) = -96 + 8 - 4 \] Add them: \[ g(-4) = -96 + 4 = -92 \] So, the coordinate is (-4, -92).
-
For \( h = -2 \): \[ g(-2) = -6(-2)^2 - 2(-2) + (-2) \] Calculate \((-2)^2\): \[ g(-2) = -6(4) + 4 - 2 \] Now, multiply: \[ g(-2) = -24 + 4 - 2 \] Add them: \[ g(-2) = -24 + 2 = -22 \] So, the coordinate is (-2, -22).
-
For \( h = 0 \): \[ g(0) = -6(0)^2 - 2(0) + 0 \] Since everything is multiplied by 0: \[ g(0) = 0 \] So, the coordinate is (0, 0).
Therefore, the coordinates for the function \( g(h) \) with the inputs \( -8, -6, -4, -2, \) and \( 0 \) are:
- (-8, -376)
- (-6, -210)
- (-4, -92)
- (-2, -22)
- (0, 0)
That's it!
