Question

Find p(-4)and p(5) for the function
p(x) = 5xº – 5x* – 10x² +6x – 1

Answer 1

p(-4) = 176 and p(5) = -144.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find p(-4) and p(5) for the function p(x) = 5x² - 5x - 10x² +6x - 1, we substitute -4 and 5 into the function.

For p(-4):

p(-4) = 5(-4)² - 5(-4) - 10(-4)² + 6(-4) - 1

Simplifying the expression gives us p(-4) = 176.

For p(5):

p(5) = 5(5)² - 5(5) - 10(5)² + 6(5) - 1

Simplifying the expression gives us p(5) = -144.
