Answer 1

Answer:

p(-2) = 14

p(0) = -2

p(3) = -26

Explanation:

To find the value of p(-2) we need to replace x by -2 on p(x) as:

$\begin{gathered} p(x)=-8x-2 \\ p(-2)=-8\cdot(-2)-2 \\ p(-2)=16-2 \\ p(-2)=14 \end{gathered}$

At the same way, p(0) and p(3) are calculated as:

$\begin{gathered} p(x)=-8x-2 \\ p(0)=-8\cdot0-2 \\ p(0)=0-2 \\ p(0)=-2 \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} p(x)=-8x-2 \\ p(3)=-8\cdot3-2 \\ p(3)=-24-2 \\ p(3)=-26 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is:

p(-2) = 14

p(0) = -2

p(3) = -26
