p(2)=37 and p(3)=73

Explanation:

To evaluate p( -2 ) and p( 3 ) substitute x = - 2 and x = 3
into p( x )

p(2)=3(2)3(2)2+2(2)5

p(2)=(3×8)(+4)+(2×2)5

p(2)=24445

p(2)=37

p(3)=3(3)3(3)2+2(3)5

p(3)=(3×27)9+65

p(3)=819+65

p(3)=73

p(2)=37andp(3)=73

Explanation:

This is an function, which means that all values of x would satisfy the equation.

When x=2,

p(2)=3(2)3(2)2+2(2)5
×x/.=24445
×x/.=37

When x=3,

p(3)=3(3)3(3)2+2(3)5
x/.=819+65
x/.=73
