Simply substitute (2a-3/5) instead of "x" into the expression for the polynomial.


You will get


f%282a-3%2F5%29 = %282a-3%2F5%29%5E2 + 2%2A%282a-3%2F5%29 + 1.


If you want (and/or if you need) you can simplify it further.


By the way, I read your writing as (2a - (3/5)).

But if you meant (2a-3)/5, then modify my response correspondingly.
