y² + 2y + 5 for y = –5 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Replace all copies of 'y' with '-5' y^2 + 2y + 5 (-5)^2 + 2(-5) + 5 Now evaluate

I'm not sure why but this is confusing me so I would do -5*2 +2*-5+5 ? D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5^2 not -5*2 on the first one

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

(-5)^2 + 2(-5) + 5 turns into 25 - 10 + 5
