Which option has (p(0)=2) if (p(x)) is a linear polynomial?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(p(x)=5x+2\)
For a linear polynomial \(p(x)=ax+b\), substituting \(x=0\) gives \(p(0)=b\), the constant term. In option A, \(p(x)=5x+2\), so \(p(0)=5(0)+2=2\). Option C has constant term 5, so it does not satisfy the condition. Exam tip: To find \(p(0)\), put 0 in place of \(x\).
