Advanced Math practice question

The function p is defined by p(x) = x⁴ − x + 3. What is the value of p(0) + p(1)?

Answer: 6

p(0) = 3 and p(1) = 1 − 1 + 3 = 3, so the sum is 6.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 3
3 is p(0) or p(1) alone.
If you answered 5
5 takes p(1) as 2.
If you answered 7
7 takes p(1) as 4, dropping the −x term.
