Q2 of 86 Page 36

Find p(0), p(1) and p(2) for each of the following polynomials.

p(t) = (t - 1) (t + 1)

p(t) = (t - 1) (t + 1)


⇒ p(t) = t2 – 1


⇒ p(0) = (0)2 – 1


⇒ p(0) = 0– 1


⇒ p(0) = -1


And,


⇒ p(1) = (1)2 – 1


⇒ p(1) = 1– 1


⇒ p(1) = 0


And,


⇒ p(2) = (2)2 – 1


⇒ p(2) = 4– 1


⇒ p(2) = 3
