Answer 2

Hi ,

It is given that ,

p( x ) = x² - 5x - 6 ---( 1 )

i ) p( 0 ) = 0² - 5 × 0 - 6

= -6

ii ) p( - 1 ) = ( - 1 )² - 5 × ( - 1 ) - 6

= 1 + 5 - 6

= 0

iii ) p( - 2 ) = ( -2 )² - 5 × ( - 2 ) - 6

= 4 + 10 - 6

= 14 - 6

= 8

iv ) p ( - 3 ) = ( -3 )² - 5 ( -3 ) - 6

= 9 + 15 - 6

= 24 - 6

= 18

I hope this helps you.
