One more rational expression before I sleep..

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

\[(y^0+3y^{-2})^3\]

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Evaluate when y=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

substitute y=-2 into the equation @dtan5457

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

I ended up with 21/4 which isn't right.. 2^0=1 3(2)^-2=3/4 1+3/4=1 3/4 (1 3/4)^3 1 3/4=7/4 7/4 times 3/1=21/4

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

which part i do wrong?

Nnesha (nnesha):

replace y by 2 -2 i guess typo :D

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yes, it is y=2

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

anyone see my error?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

lol bout to see the stupid error i made

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(1+3/4=1 3/4--------wrong\) \(1+3/4=(4/4)+ 3/4--------right\\ =7/4\)

Nnesha (nnesha):

well like we did last question should move 2^-2 at the bottom first

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

i had 7/4 though

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

u should not use mixed fractions

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

to cube 7/4 i did 7/4 times 3/1

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

21/4??
