Find the value of the expression 4a^4 − 2b^2 + 40 when a = 2 and b = 7

pooja195 (pooja195):

Hi welcome to openstudy ^-^ So basically plug in the numbers given \[\huge~\rm~\bf 4(2)^4-2(7)^2\]

OpenStudy (snowystorm777):

Thanks,so it's 16-98?

pooja195 (pooja195):

hmm nope \[\huge~\rm~\bf 4^2=? \]

OpenStudy (snowystorm777):

Wait how did u get that?

pooja195 (pooja195):

When we plug in the given values we get: \[\huge~\rm~\bf 4(2)^4-2(7)^2\] First lets get whole numbers 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 =?

OpenStudy (snowystorm777):

16

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good :) 7^2=7 x 7 =?

OpenStudy (snowystorm777):

14

pooja195 (pooja195):

No we are multiplying 7 times 7=?

OpenStudy (snowystorm777):

oops 49

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good :) 16 x 4=64 \[\huge~\rm~64−(2)(49)\]

OpenStudy (snowystorm777):
