help will give medal Evaluate the following expression using the values given: Find x3 − 2y2 − 3x3 + z4 if x = 3, y = 5, and z = −3. (1 point) −185 −77 −23 85 I get - 26 but it not an answer

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

if x = 3, y = 5, z = -3 The expression would be shown as (3)3 - 2(5)\[(3)^{3} - 2(5)^{2} - 3(3)^{3} + -3^{4}\]2

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

please ignore the half-way expressions on the top and bottom. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok lol and I got that far but I don't know what to do from there cause I obviously did something wrong lol

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

OK Let's work through this together. :-) What is \[3^{2}\] ??

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

i mean 3 to the 3rd power omg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 lol bout to say that

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

now what is 2 x 5 to the 2 power?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100 ??

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

oh gosh. noooo

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

it's 50

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

I'll just simply give you the answer, it's -23

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

Try it on your computer's calculator. it will give you so much help lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im so stupid :( lol

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

NO, don't ever say that. You just haven't gotten the hang of what your lesson's teaching you about. I can explain on how I did it . if youd like me to. ? (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya sure maybe ill see where I messed up again lol

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

ight ight (: so you know how the question tells you what number the variables mean? like x = 3, y = 5, z = -3 well, all you gotta do next time, is rewrite it on a piece of paper and basically substitute the variables to the numbers that the question listed. and if there's any powers, you multiply, and if there's any in parenthesis, you include that number in with what you're multiplying. is this making sense ? @shadow2239

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if it was 2 (5) ^2 I would add 2 +5 and do 6^2 ????

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

No, shadow. You would multiply, 2(5) means to multiply because they're close together and there's really nothing there to prove that you have to add. and well...since 2 x 5 equals 10, you multiply 10 twice.

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

because it has a power of 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 20 then ?

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

no no \[10^{2}\] does not mean 10 x 2 it means, 10 x 10. you're multiplying 10 TWICE not by two. :c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it would be 100

OpenStudy (nathaliama13):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you tell me if this is right -3(2)^2-(-1)^3+3(3)^2-2(-1)^3 I simplified and got 48 is that right ????
