Question

Can someone help me with this ?!

If p(x)=x^2+x+1 and Q(x)=5x^2-1, find the following

1. Q(4)
2.p(-4)
3.p(1/2)

Answer 1

Answer:  1. 79

2.  13

3.  7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Q(x)=5x^2-1

Q(4)=5(4)^2-1

      =5(16)-1

      =80-1

 Q(4) = 79

p(x)=x^2+x+1

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

      =16-4+1

 p(-4) =13

p(x)=x^2+x+1

p(1/2)=(1/2)^2+(1/2)+1

       =1/4+1/2+1

       2+4+8/9

        =14/8

p(1/2)    =  7/4
