Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P (x) = ( x + 2 ) ( x - 3 ) ( x + 7 )
(x^2 - 3x + 2x - 6) ( x + 7 )
( x^2 - x - 6 ) ( x + 7 )
( x^3 + 7x^2 - x^2 - 7x - 6x - 42 )
(x^3 + 6x^2 - 13x - 42)
The constant term in this function is - 42.
( A constant term is a term in an algebraic expression that has a value that is constant or cannot change, because it does not contain any modifiable variables. )
I hope this helps!
