Question

Evaluate the expressions for the given value and match them with the simplified answer.

-3 + x^2 for x = 6
A) -3
B) 15
C) 33
D) 39

-2 + 2d^3 for x = 6
A) 4
B) 14
C) 38
D) 64

Answer 1

-3 + 6² = -3 + 36 = 33

The correct answer is A.

-2 + 2(6³) = -2 + 2(216) = -2 + 432 = 430

None of those choices are correct.

Answer 2

For the expression -3 + x^2 with x=6, the answer is 33 (Option C).

For the expression -2 + 2x^3 with x=6, a mistake seems to have occurred as the answer 430.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first expression to evaluate is -3 + x^2 for x = 6. To evaluate, replace x with 6 and calculate:

• -3 + (6)^2
• -3 + 36
• 33

The simplified answer is 33, which corresponds to option C.

The second expression to evaluate is -2 + 2x^3 for x = 6. Here's the step-by-step calculation:

• -2 + 2*(6)^3
• -2 + 2*216
• -2 + 432
• 430

This yields the simplified answer of 430, which is not listed in the options provided. It seems there is an error in the given options for this expression.
