Question

If p = 2 and q = 8, the value of p^3 + 64 is:
A) 9
B) 5
C) 7
D) 2

Answer 1

Upon calculating p^3 where p = 2 and adding the result to 64, the final answer turns out to be 72, which is not listed in the provided options. This may indicate an error in the question or options.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the value of p^3 + 64 where p = 2 and q = 8, we must first calculate p^3.

We evaluate p^3 by raising p to the third power, so with p = 2 we have:

• p^3 = 2^3
• p^3 = 2 × 2 × 2
• p^3 = 8

Next, we add this result to 64:

• p^3 + 64 = 8 + 64
• p^3 + 64 = 72

The result is not one of the provided options (A-D), which indicates a possible error in the question or in the provided options
