Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P(x)= x³ - x² - 18
Q(x) = P(2x-1)
= (2x-1)³ - (2x-1)² -18
= (2x)³ - 3*(2x)² * 1 + 3*2x* 1² - 1³ - [ (2x)² - 2*2x*1 + 1 ] - 18
=8x³ - 12x² + 6x - 1 - [4x² - 4x +1 ] - 18
= 8x³ - 12x² + 6x - 1 - 4x² + 4x - 1 - 18
= 8x³ - 16x² + 10x - 20
Hint : (a-b)³ = a³-3a²b+3ab²-b³
(a-b)² = a² -2ab + b²
