If \(p(x)=2x^2-3x+1\), what is the value of \(p(2)\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 3
Substitute \(x=2\) into the polynomial: \(p(2)=2(2)^2-3(2)+1=2\times4-6+1=3\). Therefore, the correct value is 3. Exam tip: evaluate the power first, followed by multiplication and then addition or subtraction.
