Answer:

-44

Explanation:

t=2, t² - 44 - 4

1. substitute in the value to the variable: 2² - 44 - 4

2. using PEMDAS, solve the equation: 2² - 44 - 4 = 4-44-4 = -40-4= -44

(evaluate the exponent, then subtract)

Answer:

-44

Explanation:

So you want to plug 2 in for t, so the equation should now look like:


2^(2) - 44 - 4

No all you have to do is solve


2^(2) = 4

4 - 44 = -40

-40 - 4 = -44
