if f(2x−1)=x^2 −3x+2,  find f(2)
$$\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{2x}−\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{3x}+\mathrm{2},\:\:\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$

x→((x+1)/2)  f(x) = (((x+1)/2))^(2 ) −3(((x+1)/2))+2  f(2) = (9/4) −(9/2)+2  f(2) = −(1/4)
$${x}\rightarrow\frac{{x}+\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)\:=\:\left(\frac{{x}+\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}\:} −\mathrm{3}\left(\frac{{x}+\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)+\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{4}}\:−\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{2}}+\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${f}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:=\:−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$

f(2x−1) = x^2 −3x+2  2 = 2x−1  ⇒ x = 1.5  ⇒ f(2(1.5)−1) = 1.5^2 −3(1.5)+2  = 2.25−4.5+2 = −0.25
$${f}\left(\mathrm{2}{x}−\mathrm{1}\right)\:=\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{3}{x}+\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}\:=\:\mathrm{2}{x}−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{x}\:=\:\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{f}\left(\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{5}\right)−\mathrm{1}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{3}\left(\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{5}\right)+\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$=\:\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{25}−\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{5}+\mathrm{2}\:=\:−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{25} \\ $$
