Evaluate the following polynomials Two part question Show al
Evaluate the following polynomials. Two part question. Show all work.
1.a 2x^3-x^2-9x+5 for x=(-2)
b. 3x^2-8x+10 for x=(-1)
Solution
a 2x^3-x^2-9x+5 for x=(-2)
For this we need to plug x = -2
=2(-2)^3-(-2)^2-9(-2)+5
=-16-4+18+5
=-20+23
=3 answer for a
3x^2-8x+10 for x=(-1) For this we need to plug x = -1
=3(-1)^2 -8(-1) +10
=3+8+10
=21 is the answer for b
