Ans: A

Question is asking which of these is equal to \(\alpha(4)\)
for not invoilinvg formating i am writting Alpha as F so
give a(x) = 2(x^2 + 1)
we need to find equivalent of a(4); so in other words we don't need to find the value of a(4) just find if the values in the a() is equivalent to 4 or not.. and also check of negatives only because there is no division or substation in the function so value will always increase as the input increases.

Ans: A

If \(\alpha(x)= 2x^2 + 2\), which of the following is equal to \(\alpha(4)\) ?
