Rewrite the given polynomial into nested form
If x = 1, find the value of the function.
Solution:
It is possible to eliminate the exponential powers of the given polynomial by rewriting it into nested form. Nested means grouped then factored. Let's consider the given equation above
Arrange the given polynomial according to their descending power if they are not yet arranged. If any of the exponential term is missing, you must include it by adding zero times the missing exponential term. Since the given polynomial is already arranged according to their descending power, then we can proceed with the grouping and factoring as follows
Therefore, in nested form is
If x = 1, then the value of the function is
Therefore,
