Question

P(x)=(x+2)(x-3)(x+7) find the constant term

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P (x) = ( x + 2 ) ( x - 3 ) ( x + 7 )

          (x^2 - 3x + 2x - 6) ( x + 7 )

          ( x^2 - x - 6 ) ( x + 7 )

          ( x^3 + 7x^2 - x^2 - 7x - 6x - 42 )

          (x^3 + 6x^2 - 13x - 42)

The constant term in this function is - 42.

(  A constant term is a term in an algebraic expression that has a value that is constant or cannot change, because it does not contain any modifiable variables. )

I hope this helps!
