a = 4
b = 2
Replace each copy of 'a' with 4 and each copy of 'b' with 2
\[\Large 2a^3 + 2b^2 = 2({\color{red}{a}})^3+2({\color{blue}{b}})^2=2({\color{red}{4}})^3+2({\color{blue}{2}})^2\]
Are you able to finish up?

no i had that work they im stuck
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
think of (4)^3 as (4)*(4)*(4)
the exponent three means we have three copies of 4 multiplied
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what is (4)^3 equal to?
OpenStudy (bryanbarrett02):
64
