Question

If a = m 2 + 2, what is the value of a when m = -3? -7 -4 8 11

Answer 1

Given

• a = m(2) + 2
• value of a when m = -3

Substitute m with -3

a = -3*2 + 2

a = -6 + 2

a = -4

Answer

The value of a when m = -3 is -4

Answer 2

=11

Explanation:

The equation given is a=m²+2

To find a when m= -3 , we substitute for m in the equation.

a=(-3)²+2

=9+2

=11

Therefore a=11 when m is -3
