Question

Find p (-5) p(3) for p(x)=2x^5-9x^4-2x^2+12x-2

Answer 1

We have to evaluate the function p with the numbers on the argument of them, that is:

p(-5) = -11887

p(3)= -191

Step-by-step explanation:

First we are going to evaluate the functions and then to replace x by the corresponding number on the argument:

p(-5)= 2 (-5)^5 -9(-5)^4 -2(-5)^2+12(-5) +2 = -11887

p(3) =2(3)^5-9(3)^5-2(3)^2+12(3)-2 =-191
