Question

Let p(x)=2x^2-2x+4. Then p(-1)=___. 

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

To solve this one you want to plug in x = -1 back into the p(x) expression

2(-1)^2 – 2(-1) + 4

= 2(1) + 2 + 4

= 2 + 2 + 4

= 8

I hope that helps you get moving in a better direction on this type of question! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

p(-1)=2(-1)^2-2(-1)+4=8
