Evaluating an Expression With One Operation and an Exponent
In this lesson, we learn ways lto evaluate algebraic expressions that involve one operation and an exponent.
Evaluate the algebraic expression 3 + x2; for x = 2
Solution
Step 1:
Plug in the value of x as 2 in the expression.
3 + x2 = 3 + (2 × 2) = 3 + 4 = 7
Step 2:
So, for x = 2, 3 + x2 = 7
Evaluate the algebraic expression y + 23; for y = 5
Solution
Step 1:
Plug in the value of y as 5 in the expression.
y + 23 = 5 + (2 × 2 × 2) = 5 + 8 = 13
Step 2:
So, for y = 5, y + 23 = 13
