Can you clarify the question, please? When reading the problem, there is a few errors. Did you mean --\[y=4x+2x^2-x^3\]
the way you have it written, it looks like y=4x+ (2*2)-x(3).
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes i did

@iGreen, I think you'd be better at helping her than I would.

\(4(2) + 2(2)^2 – (2)^3\)
Simplify

What's 4 * 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that would be 8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 2(2) which = 2*2 would equal to 4 right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sari, For every x you see in the problem, replace it with the number 2. so its going to look like this
\[4(2)+2(2)^2-2^3\]
so, you should be able to go from there.

Sari, 4(2) just means Four times two. so. 4(2)= 8
2(2)^2 is equal to 8 aswell, and so is 2^3.
so, youre left with 8+8-8. I think you can handle that.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes thanks
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8+8-8=8 correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes. You got it :p
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what's the aswer 8
