Question

P of x is equal to x square - 5 x minus 6 then find the value of P of 1​

Answer 1

Question:

• p(x) = x² - 5x - 6
• p(1) = ?

Answer:

We have to find p(1). This means that we have to substitute the value of x as 1 in p(x).

p(x) = x² - 5x - 6

at x = 1

p(1) = 1² - 5 * 1 - 6

➠ p(1) = 1 - 5 - 6

➠ p(1) = 1 - 11

➠ p(1) = -10

Answer = ${\huge{\boxed{\red{\bf{p(1)\:=\:-10}}}}}$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x)=-10

p(1)=1square-5(1)-6

=1-5-6

p(1)=-10
