Question

given p = 2 and t = 3, evaluate.p2-t2/4p+4t

Answer 1

be aware that the numbers are exponents

Answer 2

(2)^2 - (3)^2/ 4(2) + 4(3)

Answer 3

what's the problem there?

Answer 4

(p^2-t^2)/(4p+4t)


((2)^2-(3)^2)/(4(2)+4(3))


(4-9)/(4(2)+4(3))


(4-9)/(8+12)


-5/20


-1/4



So (p^2-t^2)/(4p+4t) = -1/4 when p = 2 and t = 3

Answer 5

how exactly did u get that answer? because i dont understand

Answer 6

I plugged in p = 2 and t = 3. From there, I followed the order of operations to evaluate/simplify.
