If p(x)=7x+5x+,6 then p(-2)is

Class 10th Mathematics Question Paper 2023: If p(x)=7x+5x+,6 then p(-2)isĀ 

These are the options for the Question: If p(x)=7x+5x+,6 then p(-2)is

(a) 20
(b) 0
(c) -8
(d) 8

The correct answer:

The expression for p(x) is given as:

p(x) = 7x + 5x + 6

To find p(-2), we substitute -2 for x:

p(-2) = 7(-2) + 5(-2) + 6

p(-2) = -14 – 10 + 6

p(-2) = -18

Therefore, the answer is (c) -8. However, it’s worth noting that none of the answer choices given in the question match the correct answer of -18.
