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.
