HELP !!!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

\[\frac{ 3x^2-8 }{ 2x }\] for x=2

OpenStudy (agreene):

Plug in 2 for each x and evaluate the fraction.

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

so it would be written \[\frac{ 3*2^2-8 }{ 2*2 }\]

OpenStudy (agreene):

right.

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

okay so it would be \[\frac{ 6^2-8 }{ 4 }\] right ?

OpenStudy (agreene):

No, remember order of operations means you would do the exponent first: \[\frac{3(2^2)-8}{4}\rightarrow \frac{3(4)-8}{4} \]

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

oh okay so \[\frac{ 12-8 }{ 4 }\rightarrow \frac{ 4 }{ 4 }=1\] right ?

OpenStudy (agreene):

right!

OpenStudy (love.kat123):

okay

OpenStudy (love.kat123):
