Question
If p(y) = $4 - 3y -y^2 + 5y^3$, find:
  1. $p(0)$
  2. $p(2)$
  3. $p(-1)$

Answer

  1. $p(y) = 4 - 3y -y^2 + 5y^3$
$\Rightarrow p(0) = (4 + 3 \times 0 - 0^2 + 5 \times 0^3 )$

$= (4 + 0 - 0 + 0)$

$= 4$
  1. $p(y) = 4 - 3y -y^2 + 5y^3$​​​​​​​
$\Rightarrow p(2) = (4 + 3 \times 2 - 2^2 + 5 \times 2^3 )$

$= (4 + 6 - 4 + 40)$

$= 46$
  1. $p(y) = 4 - 3y -y^2 + 5y^3$​​​​​​​
$\Rightarrow p(-1) = [(4 + 3 \times (- 1)^2 + 5 \times (-1)^3 )]$

$= (4 - 3 - 1 - 5)$

$= -5$
