Exercise 15 Page 162

We need to substitute 12 for x in each instance of the x-variable.

p(1/2)=11 14

Practice makes perfect
To calculate p( 12) we need to substitute 12 for x in each instance of the x-variable.
p(x)=2x^3+4x^2+6x+7
p( 1/2)=2( 1/2)^3+4( 1/2)^2+6( 1/2)+7
p(1/2)=2(1/8)+4(1/4)+6(1/2)+7
p(1/2)=2/8+4/4+6/2+7
p(1/2)=1/4+1+3+7
p(1/2)=11 14
