Question

if p(x) = x raised to 4 -x raised to 2 + x, then p(1/2) = ?

Answer 1

Answer:

P(1/2) = 5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

P (x) = x^4 - x^2 + x.

P (1/2) = (1/2)^4 - (1/2)^2 + 1/2

P (1/2) = 1/16 - 1/4 + 1/16

P (1/2) = (1 -4 + 8) / 16

P (1/2) = 5 /16

Answer 2

Answer: 5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = x^4 - x² + x

p(1/2) == substitute x = 1/2

         = (1/2)^4 - (1/2)² + 1/2

         = 1/16 - 1/4 + 1/2

         = 1-4+8/16

        = 5/16
