Explanation:
To determine p(c), substitute x = c into p(x).
#rArr p(color(red)(c))=4(color(red)(c))^2-33(color(red)(c))-180# Thus
#p(c)=4c^2-33c-180# Similarly to evaluate p(c) when c = 12, substitute c = 12 into p(c)
#rArr p(color(red)(12))=4(color(red)(12))^2-33(color(red)(12))-180# Hence
#p(12)=(4xx144)-(33xx12)-180=0#
