Given the function f(x) = 6x² + 2x − 1. Calculate the following values: f(0) = f(2) = = f(-2) = f(x + 1) = f(x) = = -

The rate of change of an autocatalytic chemical reaction is kQxkx2 where Q is the amount of the original substance, x is the amount of substance formed, and k is a constant of proportionality. Factor the expression.
