-10.3x^2-x+6.5 for
a.x=-1
b.x=-2
-10.3(1)-(-1)+6.5=-10.3+1+6.5=-2.8. You substitute (-1)^2 for x which is 1, then multiply it by -10.3, which is the same, -10.3. Then subtract a -1, which is adding 1, then add 6.5.
--------------------
-10.3(4)-(-2)+6.5=-41.2+2+6.5=-32.7

f(x) = -10.3x^2-x+6.5 for
a.x=-1
f(-1) = -10.3(-1)^2 -(-1)+6.5 = -10.3 + 7.5 = -2.8
--------------------
b.x=-2
f(2) = -10.3(-2)^2 -(-2) + 6.5 = -41.2 + 8.5 = -32.7
