g(x) = 2x^2 + 17

g(12) = 2(12)^2 + 17

g(12) = 2*144+ 17

= 288+ 17

= 305

\(g(x) = 2x^2 + 17\)

To find g(12) we need to compare what is inside the bracket in g(12) and g(x)
=> We need to replace x with 12 in \(g(x) = 2x^2 + 17\) to get the value of g(12)

=> \(g(12) = 2(12)^2 + 17\) = 2*144 + 17 = 288 + 17 = 305

So, Answer will be E
Hope it helps!
