P(x) =0.02x³+0.04x²+0.3x+1.2.Evaluate P(18) by direct substitution and by applying the remainder theorm

136.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Plugin x = 18 in the polynomial.

P(x) = 0.02x³ + 0.04x² + 0.3x + 1.2

P(18)= 0.02*(18)³ + 0.04*(18)² + 0.3*18 + 1.2

      = 0.02 * 5832  + 0.04*324 + 5.4 + 1.2

      = 116.64 + 12.96 + 5.4 + 1.2

      = 136.2

see attached

step-by-step explanation:

given the function as;

write the equation replacing f(x) with y

form   and fill a table containing values of y with corresponding values of x

you can take a range for   values of x as -3≤x≤3

solving for x=-3

for x=-2

repeat the same procedure to get the values of y for the remaining ,x=-1 to x=3

plot the values of y against values   of x and obtain the following graph

-3.5 is the distance.

i've had this question so choose the one in the absolute value sign.
