Solve y = 2x^2 - 5x - 1 for x = -1 and x = 2

y = 2 (-1)2 -5(-1) -1y = 2 + 10 - 1y = 11y = 2 (2)2 -5(2) -1y = 8 - 10 -1y = -3

The functions f and g are defined on R , the set of real numbers by f(x) = x^2 - 5x +2, and g(x) = 1 - x. Find h(x) = f(g(x)), and j(x) = g(f(x)).


Simplify and then solve by factorisation 3x(x+2)-7=2, to find x.
