Question

Evaluate 3(a + b + c)2 for a = 2, b = 3, and c = 4

Answer 1

`243`

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

`3 {(a + b + c)}^(2)`

We want to evaluate this expression for:

a = 2, b = 3, and c = 4.

We substitute the given values into the expression to get:

`3(2 + 3 + 4)^(2)`

Let us perform the addition inside the parenthesis to get:

`3(9)^(2)`

`3(81) =24 3`

Therefore the given expression evaluates to:

`243`

Answer 2

Answer: 243

Explanation:

We have the expression

`3(a + b + c)^2`

Note that the expression depends on 3 variables

a, b and c

in this case we want to evaluate the expression for

`a = 2\\b = 3\\c = 4`

Then change the variable a by the number 2, the variable b by the number 3 and the variable c by the number 4

So we have

`3(2 + 3 + 4)^2`

Now simplify the expression

`3(9)^2`

`3*81=243`

The answer is 243
