Evaluate the polynomial for .
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The polynomial is . The value of is $$
STEP 2
We need to substitute the value of into the polynomial. This means replacing every instance of in the polynomial with the value .
STEP 3
Now, we need to follow the order of operations, which is often remembered by the acronym PEMAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
First, we handle the exponent in the term .
STEP 4
Next, we handle the multiplication in the term .
STEP 5
Finally, we perform the addition and subtraction from left to right.
STEP 6
Calculate the final value.
So, when , the value of the polynomial is .
