Question

if p=10 then find the degree of the polynomial f(x)=(x-p)^2+5
answer please

Answer 1

The function is x^2 - 20x + 105
So degree is 2

Answer 2

Hi , 

f ( x ) = ( x - p )² + 5 

         = x² - 2px + p² +5 

         = x² - 2 × 10 × x + ( 10 )² + 5

         = x² - 20x + 100 + 5

 f ( x ) = x² - 20x + 105

Therefore , 

Degree of f(x ) = 2

i hope this is useful to you.
