Answer:
[tex]p(5) = - 5 \\ p(0) = 5 \\ p( - \frac{1}{2} ) = 6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]p(x) = - 2x + 5[/tex]
We substitute x = 5,0 and - 1/2 in the equation.
[tex]p(5) = - 2(5) + 5 \\ p(5) = - 10 + 5 \\ p(5) = - 5[/tex]
[tex]p(0) = - 2(0) + 5 \\ p(0) = 0 + 5 \\ p(0) = 5[/tex]
[tex]p( - \frac{1}{2} ) = - 2( - \frac{1}{2} ) + 5 \\ p( - \frac{1}{2} ) = 1 + 5 \\ p( - \frac{1}{2} ) = 6[/tex]
