I'm not sure what this question means exactly, maybe the principals goal is unrealistic?
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Since p(x) = x² + 2 , if x ≤ 4
For x = 4 then this is included in the inequality x ≤ 4
whereas x > 4 does not include x = 4 but values greater than 4
Thus to evaluate x = 4 use p(x) = x² + 2
