Answer

x=32x = \frac{3}{2}

x=1 or x=−32x = 1 \text{ or } x = -\frac{3}{2}

Here are the solutions for 5a.i and 5a.ii, presented without explicit step labels.

5a.i. Solve f(x)=g(−12)f(x) = g\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)

Given f(x)=x−2f(x) = x-2 and g(x)=2x2−1g(x) = 2x^2 - 1.

First, evaluate g(−12)g\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right):

g(−12)=2(−12)2−1g\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = 2\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 - 1 g(−12)=2(14)−1g\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = 2\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) - 1 g(−12)=12−1g\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{2} - 1 g(−12)=−12g\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = -\frac{1}{2}

Now, set f(x)f(x) equal to this value:

f(x)=−12f(x) = -\frac{1}{2} x−2=−12x-2 = -\frac{1}{2} x=2−12x = 2 - \frac{1}{2} x=42−12x = \frac{4}{2} - \frac{1}{2} x=32x = \frac{3}{2}

The solution is x=32\boxed{x = \frac{3}{2}}.

5a.ii. Solve f(x)+g(x)=0f(x) + g(x) = 0

Substitute the expressions for f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x):

(x−2)+(2x2−1)=0(x-2) + (2x^2 - 1) = 0 2x2+x−3=02x^2 + x - 3 = 0

Factor the quadratic equation:

2x2+3x−2x−3=02x^2 + 3x - 2x - 3 = 0 x(2x+3)−1(2x+3)=0x(2x+3) - 1(2x+3) = 0 (x−1)(2x+3)=0(x-1)(2x+3) = 0

Set each factor to zero to find the solutions for xx:

x−1=0  ⟹  x=1x-1 = 0 \implies x = 1 2x+3=0  ⟹  2x=−3  ⟹  x=−322x+3 = 0 \implies 2x = -3 \implies x = -\frac{3}{2}

The solutions are x=1 or x=−32\boxed{x = 1 \text{ or } x = -\frac{3}{2}}.
