What should be the value of $p$ if the value of $3x^2 + 4x - p$ is 5, when (a) $x=-1$, (b) $x =1$?
Given:
The value of the expression $3x^2+4x-p$ is 5, when (a) $x=-1$, (b) $x =1$
To do:
We have to find the value of $p$.
Solution:
Let $f(x)=3x^2+4x-p$
(a) When $x=-1$,
$f(-1)=3(-1)^2+4(-1)-p=5$
$3-4-p=5$
$-1-5=p$
$p=-6$
(b) When $x=1$,
$f(1)=3(1)^2+4(1)-p=5$
$3+4-p=5$
$7-5=p$
$p=2$
