For the polynomial \(p(x)=x^2-5x+6\), what is the value of \(p(0)\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 6
Substituting \(x=0\), we get \(p(0)=0^2-5(0)+6=6\). The terms containing \(x\) become zero, leaving only the constant term, 6. Therefore, option D is correct. Exam tip: For any polynomial, \(p(0)\) equals its constant term.
