Prove the following

Question:

If $p(x)=x 2-2 \sqrt{2} x+1$, then $p(2 \sqrt{2})$ is equal to

(a) 0

(b) 1

(c) $4 \sqrt{2}$

(d) $8 \sqrt{2}+1$

Solution:

(b) Given, $p(x)=x^{2}-2 \sqrt{2} x+1 \ldots$ (i)

On putting $x=2 \sqrt{2}$ in Eq. (i), we get

$P(2 \sqrt{2})=(2 \sqrt{2})^{2}-(2 \sqrt{2})(2 \sqrt{2})+1=8-8+1=1$
