Question

evaluate the polynomial function for the given values of the variable.\
$p(x) = 2x^2 - 5x + 7$; $p(4)$, $p(-2)$, and $p(0)$\
$p(4) = 19$ (simplify your answer.)\
$p(-2) = 25$ (simplify your answer.)\
$p(0) = \square$ (simplify your answer.)

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute $x=0$ into $P(x)$

$P(0)=2(0)^2 - 5(0) + 7$

Step2: Calculate each term

$2(0)^2=0$, $-5(0)=0$

Step3: Sum the terms

$P(0)=0 + 0 + 7$

Answer:

$P(0)=7$
