Math Problem Statement

Work out the value of 4x^2 + xy, when x = 3 and y = -2.

Solution

The given equation is 4x2+xy4x^2 + xy, where x=3x = 3 and y=2y = -2. Let's substitute these values into the equation and calculate the result.

4x2+xy=4(3)2+(3)(2)4x^2 + xy = 4(3)^2 + (3)(-2)

Now, simplifying step-by-step:

4(3)2=4(9)=364(3)^2 = 4(9) = 36 3(2)=63(-2) = -6 36+(6)=3036 + (-6) = 30

Thus, the value of 4x2+xy4x^2 + xy is 3030. The correct option is 30.
