Options:

A) $ p(-2)=19 $

B) $ p(2)=19 $

C) $ p(-2)=11 $

D) $ p(2)=11 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • $ p(x)=ax^{2}+bx+c $ $ p(0)=1=c=1 $ $ . \begin{aligned} & p(1)=4 \\ & p(-1)=6 \\ \end{aligned} ] $ $ . \begin{aligned} & a+b+c=4 \\ & a-b+c=6 \\ \end{aligned} ]=. \begin{aligned} & a=4 \\ & b=-1 \\ \end{aligned} ] $ $ p(x)=4x^{2}-x+1 $ $ p(-2)=16+2+1=19 $
