Answer:
think of each T in the original equation as an empty box, like this:
P( ) = 2( )² + ( ) - 7
when it says p(some number), it means replace all Ts in the equation with that number.
P( 0 ) = 2( 0 )² + ( 0 ) - 7 = 0 + 0 - 7 = -7
do the same for the rest <:)
for the second part, it's the same concept: every T is replaced with what's inside the parentheses.
so P( -t ) = 2( -t )² + ( -t ) - 7 = 2t² - t - 7
and so on and so forth.
