Solution
Solution Steps
To evaluate the function \( g(y) = y^2 + 2 \) at the given values, we will substitute each value of \( y \) into the function and compute the result.
Step 1: Evaluate \( g(4) \)
To find \( g(4) \), substitute \( y = 4 \) into the function \( g(y) = y^2 + 2 \):
\[
g(4) = 4^2 + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18
\]
Step 2: Evaluate \( g(-1) \)
To find \( g(-1) \), substitute \( y = -1 \) into the function \( g(y) = y^2 + 2 \):
\[
g(-1) = (-1)^2 + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3
\]
Step 3: Evaluate \( g(0) \)
To find \( g(0) \), substitute \( y = 0 \) into the function \( g(y) = y^2 + 2 \):
\[
g(0) = 0^2 + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2
\]
