Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Evaluate polynomial at x=0.
2. Identify constant term as p(0).
3. Interpret in context only if x=0 is in domain.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Assuming x=0 is always meaningful.
