Question

pls help!!! evaluate the function for x=m/4

Answer 1

Plug in m/4 into the equation:

$8 (\frac{m}{4})^{2} - 4(\frac{m}{4})$

Solve the parentheses in the equation:

$\frac{m}{4}^{2} = \frac{m}{4} \times \frac{m}{4} = \frac{m^{2}}{16}$
$8 \times \frac{m^{2}}{16} = \frac{8m^{2}}{16} = \frac{m^{2}}{2}$

$4 \times \frac{m}{4} = \frac{4m}{4} = m$

Your equation should now look like this:

$\frac{m^{2}}{2} - m$

The answer is D.
