Question

If p(x)=x3-3x2,then find the value of p(1)

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Divide each term by x

Simplify the left side

Cancel the common factor of x

Cancel the common factor

Divide p by 1

Simplify the right side

Simplify each term

Cancel the common factor of x^3 and x

Factor x out of x^3

Cancel the common factors

Raise x to the power of 1

Factor x out of x^1

Cancel the common factor

Rewrite the expression

Divide x^2 by 1

Cancel the common factor of x^2 and x

Factor x out of −3x^2

Cancel the common factors

Raise x to the power of 1

Factor x out of x^1

Cancel the common factor

Rewrite the expression

Divide −3x by 1

p=x^2−3x
