b.
Answer to Problem 8.3.4P
p is 2, -2 for x=1
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Simplified expression
Calculation:
For the value of x to be 1,
We know that
Substituting values,
1=
Now,
As bases are equal, compare power.
Now,
Using identity
Solving for p ,
Hence, value of p is 2, -2 for x=1 for all values of x
