Value of a polynomial is obtained when variables of given polynomial are interchanged or replaced by the value of variable. Let's study the following examples to understand with the help of below examples: Example 1: Find the value of following polynomial where x = 2 p(x) = x2 + 4x + 4 Solution: Given polynomial: p(x) = x2 + 4x + 4 Value of given polynomial when x = 2 and we get: p(2) = (2)2 + 4 (2) + 4 Solve exponential forms and we get: = 4 + 8 + 4 Solve the addition expression and we get: = 16 Hence the value of p(x) = x2 + 4x + 4, where x = 2, is 16 Example 2: Find the value of following polynomial where y = 1 p(y) = 2y3 + y2 + 3 Solution: Given polynomial: p(y) = 2y3 + y2 + 3 Value of given polynomial when y = 1 and we get: p(1) = 2 (1)2 + (1)2 + 3 Solve exponential forms and we get: = 2 + 1 + 3 Solve the addition expression and we get: = 6 Hence the value of p(y) = 2y3 + y2 + 3, where y = 1, is 16 Example 3: Find the value of following polynomial where a = -2 p(a) = a3 + a2 - 10 Solution: Given polynomial: p(a) = a3 + a2 - 10 Value of given polynomial when a = -2 and we get: p(-2) = (-2)3 + (-2)2 - 10 Solve exponential forms and we get: = (-8) + 4 - 10 Solve the above expression and we get: = (-18) + 4 = (-14) Hence the value of p(a) = a3 + a2 - 10, where a = -2, is (-14)
