Question

3. Find p(0), p(1) and p(2) for each of the following polynomials:

(a) p(x) = (x + 1)2

(b) p(t) = t3 – t

2 + t + 1​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) p(0) = (0+1)2

=1×2=2

p(1) = (1+1)2

=2×2

=4

p(2) =(2+1)2

= 3×2

=6

b) p(0) = (0)3 - 0

=0-0

= 0

p(1) = (1)3 - 1.

= 3 - 1

= 2

p(2) = (2)3 - 2

= 6- 2

=4

c) p(0) = 2 + 0 + 0

= 2

p(1) = 2 + 1 + 1

= 5

p(2) = 2 + 2 + 2

= 6
