Question

Evaluate the expression when a = 1/4 and b = 6 16a^2 - 4b

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{16a^2 - 4b}`

`\mathsf{= 16((1)/(4))^2 - 4(6)}`

`\mathsf{= 16((1)/(4) * (1)/(4)) - 4(6)}`

`\mathsf{= 16* (1(1))/(4(4)) - 4(6)}`

`\mathsf{= 16((1)/(16)) - 4(6)}`

`\mathsf{= (16)/(1)((1)/(16)) - 4(6)}`

`\mathsf{= (16(1))/(1(16)) - 4(6)}`

`\mathsf{= (16)/(1) - (4(6))/(1)}`

`\mathsf{= 1 - 4(6)}`

`\mathsf{= 1 - 24}`

`\mathsf{= -23}`

`\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be: }`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{-23}}\huge\checkmark`
