Hello!
To find the missing value, you need to substitute p, which is -2, into the expression given above. Remember to use PEMDAS.
Given: 24p² + 8p + 2, when p = -2
24(-2)² + 8(-2) + 2 (simplify the exponents)
24(4) + 8(-2) + 2 (multiply)
96 - 16 + 2 (subtract)
80 + 2 (add)
82
Therefore, if p = -2, the final answer is 82.
