Hello!
We are going to evaluate the expression with our given x-value for question 2.
We know that our expression is: x^4 + 5x^3 - 3x^2 + 11x - 6
We also know that our x-value = 3
We will simply plug in "3" to "x" in our expression and solve.
Solve:
x^4 + 5x^3 - 3x^2 + 11x - 6
Plug in 3 to x:
(3)^4 + 5(3)^3 - 3(3)^2 + 11(3) - 6
Simplify:
(3)^4 + 5(3)^3 - 3(3)^2 + 11(3) - 6
81 + 5(3)^3 - 3(3)^2 + 11(3) - 6
81 + 135 - 3(3)^2 + 11(3) - 6
81 + 135 - 27 + 33 - 6
216 - 27 + 33 - 6
189 + 33 - 6
222 - 6 = 216
Therefore, our final answer would be 216.
Answer:
216
