Answer:
When n=3 and x=−2 the answer is 11.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Let p (n,x) be the function such that
[tex]p (n,x) = n + 2x^{2}[/tex]
To Find:
p (n,x) = p ( 3, -2) = ?
Solution:
[tex]p (n,x) = n + 2x^{2}[/tex]
Substituting n = 3 and x = -2 we get
[tex]p (3, -2) = 3 + 2(-2)^{2}[/tex]
Negative square gives positive number therefore (-2)²=4
[tex]p (3, -2) = 3 + 2\times 4[/tex]
[tex]p (3, -2) = 3 + 8\\p (3, -2) = 11[/tex]
When n=3 and x=−2 the answer is 11.
