Evaluate the function f(p) = p2 + 3p + 1 for p = -2. a. 1 b. -1 c. -8 d. 9 e. -9

f(p) = p^2 + 3p + 1 for p = -2

Substitute p = -2 into f(p) = p^2 + 3p + 1

f(-2) = (-2)^2 + 3(-2) + 1

= 4 - 6 + 1

= -1

Answer

B. -1

the final function for the graph becomes x-2=-1. before graphing you solve the equation, where x=1. then graph accordingly.   ( on the x-axis, 1 on the line will possess a vertical line.)
