  1. A 1
  2. B -1
  3. C 2
  4. D -2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) -2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If \(g(x)=x^2+x-1\) and \((g \circ f)(x)=4 x^2-10 x+5\), then \(f(2)\) ?
1. Relationship:
\(g(f(x))=4 x^2-10 x+5\)
2. Substitute \(g(x)\) : Given \(g(x)=x^2+x-1\), substitute \(f(x)\) :
\((f(x))^2+f(x)-1=4 x^2-10 x+5\)
3. Solve for \(f(x)\) : Use quadratic identities to isolate \(f(x)\). Substitute \(x=2\). After simplifications: Answer: -2, Option 4.
