Evaluate ax² + bx + c.
1) - 34
2) 14
3) - 40
4) - 4

Answer 1

Answer:-

`\red{\bigstar}` The final evaluation of the given expression is
`\large\leadsto\boxed{\rm\purple{- 40}}`

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Given:-

• Expression = ax² + bx + c

• a = -2

• b = 5

• c = -7

• x = -3

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Solution:-

✯ Substitute the given values of each variable in the expression.

➪
`\bold{ax^2 + bx + c}`

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

➪
`\sf (-2) * (-3)^2 + (5) * (-3) + (-7)`

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

➪
`\sf (-2) * (9) + (-15) + (-7)`

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

➪
`\sf - 18 - 15 - 7`

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

★
`\bold\red{\large{- 40}}`

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

`\pink{\bigstar}` Therefore, the the final evaluation of the given expression is -40.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

`\pink{\bigstar}` Hence, the Option. C

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{ax^2 + bx + c}}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{= -2(-3)^2 + 5(-3) + (-7)}}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{= (-2)(9) - 15 - 7}}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{= -18 - 15 - 7}}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{= -33 - 7}}}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{= -40}}`

`\huge\boxed{\rm{Therefore, your \ answer\ is: \boxed{\mathsf{Option\ C. -40}}}}\huge\checkmark`
