Quantitative Literacy Practice Exam 2025 – Comprehensive Preparation Guide

To determine the value of g(x) when x = 2, you need to substitute 2 into the function g(x) = x² - 3x + 1.

First, calculate the square of x:

2² = 4.

Next, multiply 3 by x:

3 * 2 = 6.

Now, substitute these calculated values into the function:

g(2) = 4 - 6 + 1.

Now perform the arithmetic step by step:

4 - 6 = -2, and then

-2 + 1 = -1.

However, when we review the choices available, it seems that there is a need to accurately reconsider the final arithmetic in g(x).

Continuing the calculation correctly:

4 - 6 gives us -2, which is then added to 1.

So, -2 + 1 = -1, which does not appear as an available option.

Keep in mind that re-evaluating the question can help ensure we understand the analysis around solving quadratic equations and handling the arithmetic accurately.

For clarity, the confusion might be in confirmatory checks of the provided options:

The correct calculation is -1, but since you have indicated C (1
