Question

Evaluate the expression for a a= 2, b = 3, and c = -2

12 - 2(a - b) ^2

Answer 1

Let's substitute the values of a, b, and c into the expression:

12 - 2(a - b)^2
= 12 - 2(2 - 3)^2
= 12 - 2(-1)^2
= 12 - 2*1
= 12 - 2
= 10

So, the value of the expression 12 - 2(a - b)^2 for a = 2, b = 3, and c = -2 is 10.
