At what value is g(x) = x² - 3x + 1 when x = 2?

-1
3
1
5

The correct answer is: 1

To find the value of $ g(x) = x^2 - 3x + 1 $ when $ x = 2 $, you need to substitute 2 into the function. Here’s how it works step by step: 1. Start by substituting $ x $ with 2 in the function: \[ g(2) = (2)^2 - 3(2) + 1 \] 2. Calculate $ (2)^2 $: \[ (2)^2 = 4 \] 3. Next, calculate $ -3(2) $: \[ -3(2) = -6 \] 4. Now, put all the parts together in the equation: \[ g(2) = 4 - 6 + 1 \] 5. Simplify the expression: \[ 4 - 6 = -2 \] \[ -2 + 1 = -1 \] As a result, when $ x = 2 $, the value of $ g(x) $ is $ -1 $. Therefore, it appears
