Question

Evaluate 4 - 2(a2 – b2)2 when a = 3 and b = 2.

Answer 1

= -46

Explanation:

4 - 2(a² - b²)²

= 4 - 2(3² - 2²)²

= 4 - 2(9 - 4)²

= 4 - 2(5)²

= 4 - 2(25)

= 4 - 50

= -46

Answer 2

-46

Explanation:

4 - 2(a^2 – b^2)^2 =

= 4 - 2(3^2 – 2^2)^2

= 4 - 2(9 - 4)^2

= 4 - 2(5)^2

= 4 - 2(25)

= 4 - 50

= -46
