Question

With a polynomial rule we can substitute values in. For instance if P(x)=x^(4) then P(3)=3^(4)=81 For P(x)=5x^(2) find the value of P(3)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:Sure! To find the value of P(3) for the polynomial rule P(x) = 5x^2, we just need to substitute x = 3 into the rule and simplify:

P(3) = 5(3^2) (Substitute x = 3)

= 5(9) (Evaluate 3^2)

= 45 (Multiply 5 by 9)

Therefore, P(3) = 45 when P(x) = 5x^2.
