See the explanation below.

Work Step by Step

(a) Provided function $g\left( x \right)=3{{x}^{2}}-5x+2$. To find $g\left( 0 \right)$, put $x=0$ in function $g\left( x \right)=3{{x}^{2}}-5x+2$. $\begin{align} & g\left( x \right)=3{{x}^{2}}-5x+2 \\ & g\left( 0 \right)=3{{\left( 0 \right)}^{2}}-5\left( 0 \right)+2 \\ & =2. \end{align}$ (b) Provided function $g\left( x \right)=3{{x}^{2}}-5x+2$. To find $g\left( -2 \right)$, put $x=-2$ in function $g\left( x \right)=3{{x}^{2}}-5x+2$. $\begin{align} & g\left( x \right)=3{{x}^{2}}-5x+2 \\ & g\left( -2 \right)=3{{\left( -2 \right)}^{2}}-5\left( -2 \right)+2 \\ & =3\left( 4 \right)+10+2 \\ & =24. \end{align}$ (c) Provided function $g\left( x \right)=3{{x}^{2}}-5x+2$. To find $g\left( x-1 \right),$ put $x=x-1$ in function $g\left( x \right)=3{{x}^{2}}-5x+2$. $\begin{align} & g\left( x-1 \right)=3{{\left( x-1 \right)}^{2}}-5\left( x-1 \right)+2 \\ & =3\left( {{x}^{2}}-2x+1 \right)-5x+5+2 \\ & =3{{x}^{2}}-6x+3-5x+7 \\ & =3{{x}^{2}}-11x+10 \end{align}$ (d) Provided function $g\left( x \right)=3{{x}^{2}}-5x+2$. To find $g\left( -x \right),$ put $x=-x$ in function $g\left( x \right)=3{{x}^{2}}-5x+2$. $\begin{align} & g\left( x \right)=3{{x}^{2}}-5x+2 \\ & g\left( -x \right)=3{{\left( -x \right)}^{2}}-5\left( -x \right)+2 \\ & =3{{x}^{2}}+5x+2 \end{align}$
