B
$12$
C
$4$
D
$8$

Solution

(D) The given polynomial is $p(x) = x^{3} - 3(x^{2})^{4} - 15$.
First,simplify the term $(x^{2})^{4}$ using the power of a power rule $(a^{m})^{n} = a^{m \times n}$.
$(x^{2})^{4} = x^{2 \times 4} = x^{8}$.
Substituting this back into the polynomial,we get $p(x) = x^{3} - 3x^{8} - 15$.
The degree of a polynomial is defined as the highest power of the variable present in the expression.
In the expression $x^{3} - 3x^{8} - 15$,the powers of $x$ are $3$,$8$,and $0$ (since $15 = 15x^{0}$).
The highest power is $8$.
Therefore,the degree of the polynomial is $8$.

Find the value of the polynomial $x^{2}-7x+12$ at $x=\frac{1}{2}$.

Solution

(A) To find the value of the polynomial $p(x) = x^{2} - 7x + 12$ at $x = \frac{1}{2}$,we substitute $\frac{1}{2}$ for $x$ in the expression:
$p(\frac{1}{2}) = (\frac{1}{2})^{2} - 7(\frac{1}{2}) + 12$
$p(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{7}{2} + 12$
To add these,find a common denominator,which is $4$:
$p(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{14}{4} + \frac{48}{4}$
$p(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1 - 14 + 48}{4}$
$p(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{35}{4}$
Converting the improper fraction to a mixed number:

Find $p(1)$,$p(2)$,and $p(4)$ for the polynomial $p(x) = x^{3} - 7x^{2} + 14x - 8$.

Solution

To find the values,we substitute $x = 1$,$x = 2$,and $x = 4$ into the polynomial $p(x) = x^{3} - 7x^{2} + 14x - 8$.
$1$. For $p(1)$:
$p(1) = (1)^{3} - 7(1)^{2} + 14(1) - 8 = 1 - 7 + 14 - 8 = 0$.
$2$. For $p(2)$:
$p(2) = (2)^{3} - 7(2)^{2} + 14(2) - 8 = 8 - 7(4) + 28 - 8 = 8 - 28 + 28 - 8 = 0$.
$3$. For $p(4)$:
$p(4) = (4)^{3} - 7(4)^{2} + 14(4) - 8 = 64 - 7(16) + 56 - 8 = 64 - 112 + 56 - 8 = 0$.
Thus,$p(1) = 0$,$p(2) = 0$,and $p(4) = 0$.

Find $p(1)$,$p(2)$,and $p(4)$ for the following polynomial: $p(y) = y^{2} - 5y + 4$.

Solution

(N/A) To find the values of the polynomial $p(y) = y^{2} - 5y + 4$ at given points,we substitute the value of $y$ into the expression:
$1$. For $y = 1$: $p(1) = (1)^{2} - 5(1) + 4 = 1 - 5 + 4 = 0$.
$2$. For $y = 2$: $p(2) = (2)^{2} - 5(2) + 4 = 4 - 10 + 4 = -2$.
$3$. For $y = 4$: $p(4) = (4)^{2} - 5(4) + 4 = 16 - 20 + 4 = 0$.
Thus,the values are $p(1) = 0$,$p(2) = -2$,and $p(4) = 0$.

Find $p(1)$,$p(2)$,and $p(4)$ for the following polynomial: $p(t) = t^{2} - 6t + 8$.

Solution

(N/A) To find the values,substitute the given values of $t$ into the polynomial $p(t) = t^{2} - 6t + 8$.
For $t = 1$: $p(1) = (1)^{2} - 6(1) + 8 = 1 - 6 + 8 = 3$.
For $t = 2$: $p(2) = (2)^{2} - 6(2) + 8 = 4 - 12 + 8 = 0$.
For $t = 4$: $p(4) = (4)^{2} - 6(4) + 8 = 16 - 24 + 8 = 0$.

Easy
Find $p(1)$,$p(2)$,and $p(4)$ for the following polynomial:
$p(x) = x^{2} - 3x + 2$

Solution

(N/A) To find the values of the polynomial $p(x) = x^{2} - 3x + 2$ at $x = 1, 2, 4$,we substitute the values into the expression:
$1$. For $x = 1$: $p(1) = (1)^{2} - 3(1) + 2 = 1 - 3 + 2 = 0$.
$2$. For $x = 2$: $p(2) = (2)^{2} - 3(2) + 2 = 4 - 6 + 2 = 0$.
$3$. For $x = 4$: $p(4) = (4)^{2} - 3(4) + 2 = 16 - 12 + 2 = 6$.
Thus,the values are $p(1) = 0$,$p(2) = 0$,and $p(4) = 6$.

Find $p(1)$,$p(2)$,and $p(4)$ for the polynomial $p(x) = x^3 + 9x^2 + 23x + 15$.

Solution

To find the values,substitute the given values of $x$ into the polynomial $p(x) = x^3 + 9x^2 + 23x + 15$:
$1$. For $x = 1$:
$p(1) = (1)^3 + 9(1)^2 + 23(1) + 15 = 1 + 9 + 23 + 15 = 48$.
$2$. For $x = 2$:
$p(2) = (2)^3 + 9(2)^2 + 23(2) + 15 = 8 + 9(4) + 46 + 15 = 8 + 36 + 46 + 15 = 105$.
$3$. For $x = 4$:
$p(4) = (4)^3 + 9(4)^2 + 23(4) + 15 = 64 + 9(16) + 92 + 15 = 64 + 144 + 92 + 15 = 315$.
