P(1) = P(-1)
P(1) = 3 - a + b
P(-1) = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b + 3 - a - b = 0
-> 6 - 2a = 0
-> a = 3.
P(2) = 24 - 2a + b -> 24 - (2a - b) = 16 -> 2a - b = 8
-> 6 - b = 8
b = -2.
So, a = 3 and b = -2
Recheck : P(1) = 3 - 3 + (-2) = -2
P(-1) = -3 + 3 + (-2) = -2 => P(1) = P(-1) (true)
P(2) = 24 - 6 + (-2) = 16.

Answer:
3x^3 + 3x^2 - 27x - 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of the quadratic equation is a parabola or u shaped graph. It has a vertex at (-1,-3) since h=-1 and k=-3 in the vertex form. It is also facing down since the leading coefficient is negative.
