let f(x)=2x^2+x-3 f(t+3) f(m+2)-f(m)

OpenStudy (lxelle):

Substitute (t-3) into all the x same goes to the next question.

OpenStudy (paki):

Substitute (t-3) or (t+3).........?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@paki t+3

OpenStudy (paki):

yeah (t+3), then put it in the function and see...

OpenStudy (lxelle):

Whoops, sorry (t+3) I mean.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@LXelle i got this answer 2t^2+13t+18 is this correct??

OpenStudy (lxelle):

Yes then solve to find t. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how??

OpenStudy (lxelle):

Factorization. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@LXelle i got this answers t= 9/2 and t=2

OpenStudy (lxelle):

It should be negative for both answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why?? i don't get it

OpenStudy (lxelle):

If t is 2, then your equation cannot be = 0. The rule of factorizing is to let the equation =0

OpenStudy (lxelle):

The trick is after you get the answer try substituting back into the equation to see whether the answer gives back the same answer as before.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh i get it ! thanks @LXelle :D can you help me solve the last one?? i have a hard time to solve it :(

OpenStudy (lxelle):

The same thing though. Substitute the (m+2) first then make another one by substituting m only . Then minus the both equations.
