Question

Find the value of the polynomial 5x – 4x^2 + 3 at x = 2 and x = –1​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=2 => 5×2 - 4×2² + 3 = 10-16+3 = -3

x=-1 => 5×-1 - 4×(-1)² + 3 = -5 - 4 + 3 = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

is in the answer.

remember that squaring a negative number creates a positive result.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the polynomial be f(x) = 5x – 4x^2 + 3

Now, for x = 2,

f(2) = 5(2) – 4(2)^2 + 3

=> f(2) = 10 – 16 + 3 = –3

Or, the value of the polynomial 5x – 4x^2 + 3 at x = 2 is -3.

Similarly, for x = –1,

f(–1) = 5(–1) – 4(–1^)2 + 3

=> f(–1) = –5 –4 + 3 = -6

The value of the polynomial 5x – 4x2 + 3 at x = -1 is -6.
