What is 3x^2 when x = 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would you go 3x3 then do the power of 2?

OpenStudy (zale101):

\[3(3)^2\] just replace x with 3, square it and then multiply it by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be 81?

OpenStudy (zale101):

3x means 3 is multiplied by x

OpenStudy (zale101):

the power is only on the x

OpenStudy (zale101):

not 81, i would say 27 because 3(3)^2 is 3* 9 which equals to 27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it owuld be 27?

OpenStudy (zale101):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i understand thank you :)
