Question

Find P(x)=−2x2+x6−4x+1 when x=−2.

Answer 1

Hey there!

p(x) = 2x^2 + x^4 - 4x + 1

y = 2x^2 + x^4 - 4x + 1

y = 2(-2)^2 - 2^4 - 4(-2) + 1

y = -4^2 - 16 - 4(-2) + 1

y = 8 - 16 - (-8) + 1

y = - 8 - (-8) + 1

y = 0 + 1

y = 1

Therefore, your answer is: y = 1

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
