Question 67853: Solve question using fundamental operations on polynomials.
Find P (-1/2)if
P(x) = x^4 + 3x^2 + 2
Answer by tutorcecilia(2152) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P(-1/2)= x^4 + 3x^2 + 2 [substitute (-1/2) for "x" and solve]
P(-1/2)= (-1/2)^4 + 3(-1/2)^2 + 2
P(-1/2)= (1/16) + 3(1/4) + 2
P(-1/2)= 1/16 + 3/4 + 2
P(-1/2)= 45/16=2.8125
