Q2.

(i) Given that p(y)=y²-y+1

=> p(0)= 0²-0+1 =0+0+1=1 Ans.

p(1)=1²-1+1=1-1+1=0+1=1 Ans.

p(2)= 2²-2+1 =4-2+1=5-2=3 Ans.

(ii)  p(t)=2+t+2t²-t^3

p(0)=2+0+2(0)²-(0)^3

p(0)=2+0+0-0  

   [∵  0²=0×0 =0 and 0^3=0×0×0=0]

p(0)=2  Ans.

p(1)=2+1+2(1)²-(1)^3

p(1)=2+1-2(1×1)-(1×1×1)

p(1)=2+1-2-1

p(1)=0 Ans.

P(2)=2+2+2(2)²-(2)^3

p(2)=2+2+2(2×2)-(2×2×2)

p(2)=2+2+8-8

p(2)=4 Ans.

(iii) Try yourself.

(iv) p(x)=(x-1)(x+1)

p(0)=(0-1)(0+1)

p(0)=(-1)(1)= -1 Ans.

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

p(1)=0×2

p(1)=0 Ans.

p(2)= - - - -      [Try yourself]
