Answer 1

Value of a expression

We want to find the value of the following expression:

`4x+(1)/(3)y^2`

when x = 2 and y = 3.

We follow the next step by step:

Step 1: replacing x and y values

Step 2: solving the combined operations

Step 1

We replace in the equation x by 2 and y by 3:

`\begin{gathered} 4x+(1)/(3)y^2 \\ \downarrow\text{ since x=2 and y=3} \\ 4\cdot2+(1)/(3)\cdot3^2 \end{gathered}`

Step 2

We solve the expression we found: first we solve the multiplications:

`\begin{gathered} 4\cdot2+(1)/(3)\cdot3^2 \\ \downarrow\text{ since }3^2=9\text{ and }4\cdot2=8 \\ 8+(1)/(3)\cdot9 \\ \downarrow\text{ since }(9)/(3)=3 \\ 8+3 \end{gathered}`

Then, the addition:

8 + 3 = 11

Answer: 11
