Provide an appropriate response.A friend suggests that the simplest way to evaluate P(0) for the polynomial  is to set c = 0 and use synthetic division. Do you agree? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. One possible answer follows.
No, I do not agree. The simplest way to evaluate is by direct substitution to get P(0) = -12.
