Polynomials Basics Test

Evaluate  \(x + 2\) for (x = -3\)

Evaluate \(-x – 4\) at \(x = -4\)

Evaluate \(x^{17}+4x^{12}-5x^2-x+1\) for \(x = 0\)

Evaluate \(x^{53}+x^{28}+1\) at \(x =-1\)

It is easier to evaluate a polynomial before like terms have been combined than after.

If \(p(x) = x^2+x+2\), than \(p(-2) = 0\)

Evaluate \(a^3b^2-a^2b+ab^3+b+14\)  at \(a=0\), \(b=-24\)

If \(p(a,b) = a^2b + ab\) than \(f(-1,-1)=0\)

Evaluate \(a^2b-b^2a\) at \(a=121\), \(b=121\)

If \(p(a,b)=-2a^3b+2\) than \(p(-1,x) =\)

If \(p(x)=(x+1)(3-x)(x-45)^2\) than \(p(-31)<0\)
