Question

HELP PLEASE! for p(x)=-2x+5 determine: p(5) p(0) p(-1/2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$p(5) = - 5 \\ p(0) = 5 \\ p( - \frac{1}{2} ) = 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$p(x) = - 2x + 5$

We substitute x = 5,0 and - 1/2 in the equation.

$p(5) = - 2(5) + 5 \\ p(5) = - 10 + 5 \\ p(5) = - 5$

$p(0) = - 2(0) + 5 \\ p(0) = 0 + 5 \\ p(0) = 5$

$p( - \frac{1}{2} ) = - 2( - \frac{1}{2} ) + 5 \\ p( - \frac{1}{2} ) = 1 + 5 \\ p( - \frac{1}{2} ) = 6$
