Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
To change a mixed number to an improper fraction
Multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and add the numerator. This value is the numerator of the improper fraction while the denominator remains unchanged, that is
(2 × 13) + 12 = 26 + 12 = 38 ← numerator
2
= 
(b)
To change an improper fraction to a mixed number
divide the numerator by the denominator, noting the remainder, which forms the numerator of the fraction in the mixed number.
= 2 remainder 9, hence
= 2 
The function and the first value stated for x are confusing.
Doing some research, I found that the problem is to evaluate the function

for x = - 1 and x 2.
The solution is:
1) For x = - 1

2) For x = 2
Create an equation: x*(x-3)=14
5.53112887 and 2.53112887
You can round the numbers and get 5.53 and 2.53
