Question

Do both of them for 50 points

Answer 1

1) 5.44, 2) 3.9

Explanation:

1) a/b + 2b - a^2 when a = 1.4 and b = 0.2

plug in the values:

1.4/0.2 + 2(0.2) - (1.4)^2 = 7 + 0.4 - 1.96 = 5.44

2) a[b-2c]^3 - d/e when a = 2, b = -0.75, c = -1, d = 0, e = -12 5/7 (rewritten to -89/7 = 12.71)

again, plug in the values:

2[-0.75-2(-1)]^3 - 0/12.71 = 2[1.25]^3 - 0 = 2[1.95] = 3.9
