\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = 2x^2 + 3
\n" ); document.write( "f(x+2) = 2(x+2)^2 + 3 ..... every x replaced with x+2
\n" ); document.write( "f(x+2) = 2(x^2+4x+4) + 3 .... FOIL rule
\n" ); document.write( "f(x+2) = 2x^2+8x+8 + 3
\n" ); document.write( "f(x+2) = 2x^2+8x+11\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = 2x^2+3
\n" ); document.write( "f(2) = 2*2^2+3 .... every x replaced with 2
\n" ); document.write( "f(2) = 2*4+3
\n" ); document.write( "f(2) = 8+3
\n" ); document.write( "f(2) = 11
\n" ); document.write( "f(x)+f(2) = (2x^2+3) + (11)
\n" ); document.write( "f(x)+f(2) = 2x^2+14\r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "We can see that
\n" ); document.write( "f(x+2) = f(x)+f(2)
\n" ); document.write( "is not a true equation since we ended up with different polynomial results.
\n" ); document.write( "In more general terms, f(a+b) = f(a)+f(b) is also not true.
