Evaluate the expression r^3+4r^2s for r=-2 and s=3. The solution is .

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ r^3+4r^2s }\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ (-2)^3+4(-2)^2(3) }\)

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

simply plug in the variables

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ -8+4(4)(3) }\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ =? }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4+12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mhm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is \[4 \times 4 \times 3? \]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes it is, it is 40 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's because you gave us the wrong value for r....it's -3 not -2 haha.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and s =2, you had it backwards

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha omgi swear i copied and pasted.. hmm they must've switched it to trick me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[r^3+4r^2s \implies (-3)^3+4(-3)^2(2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-27 + 4(9) (2)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
