I have a questions regarding a formula to calculate an equation such as:

f(x) = 2x³ + 4x² + 5

I have 12 variables for x. Is there a way I can set this up in excel if I put all the x variables in one column and the f(x) equation in another to calculate the answers for each x variable?

Appreciate your help! :smile:

Wow...wasn't expecting that kind of response. Maybe I should rephrase my question. How do I get the x in the function to replace with a number? I'm not all that great with excel.

Does that make more sense, I guess I'm making this harder than it needs to be. If you are going to make another sarcastic comment, don't bother commenting.

Yep,

Set up column A with your variables and then create the equation substituting "x" for the variable location (starting with A1). In this case your formula would be "=2*(A1^3)+4*(A1^2)+5"

Thank you Ken! I guess I was making it too complicated :frown: This will help me check my homework problems!

Thank you again!

Well unfortunately, your joke didn't provide an answer to my problem. So maybe you should of led with the joke then provided the answer? Anyhoo, Ken helped me so, I guess, thanks for the joke? :smile:
