Question

If p(x)=x2-3x+2 then find the value of p(1/2)

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the value of p(1/2), we substitute 1/2 for x in the expression for p(x). Doing so, we get:

p(1/2) = (1/2)^2 - 3(1/2) + 2

= 1/4 - 3/2 + 2

= -1/4 + 2

= 1 3/4

So the value of p(1/2) is 1 3/4.

Answer 2

3/4

Explanation:

p(x)=x^2-3x+2

Let x = 1/2

p(1/2)=(1/2)^2-3(1/2)+2

= 1/4 - 3/2 +2

=1/4 - 6/4 + 8/4

= 3/4
