Answer

(a) $ 22$, (b) $ x^2-5x-2$, (c) $ -x^2-5x+2$, (d) $ 9x^2+15x-2$, (e) $ 2x+h+5$.

Work Step by Step

Given $f(x)=x^2+5x-2$, we have: (a) $f(3)=(3)^2+5(3)-2=22$, (b) $f(-x)=(-x)^2+5(-x)-2=x^2-5x-2$, (c) $-f(x)=-x^2-5x+2$, (d) $f(3x)=(3x)^2+5(3x)-2=9x^2+15x-2$, (e) $\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\frac{(x+h)^2+5(x+h)-2-(x^2+5x-2)}{h}=\frac{2xh+h^2+5h}{h}=2x+h+5$.
