Question

If p(x) = x^2-4x+3 evaluate p(1/2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$p(x) = \frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Given:\\p(x) = x^{2} -4x +3 \\\\p(\frac{1}{2}) = (\frac{1}{2})^{2} - 4(\frac{1}{2})+3\\\\p(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{4}-2+3\\\\p(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{4} +1\\\\p(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1+4}{4}\\\\p(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{5}{4} \\\\p(\frac{1}{2}) = 1.25\\Ans.$
