Question

If X = 4 and y = -2, the value of 1/2 xy^2 is

Answer 1

Answer:

$8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 1/2 xy^2 is, by order of operations, read as $\frac12xy^2$. If this is not what was intended in the question then please amend it according order of operations.

Plugging the values $x=4$ and $y=-2$ gives

$\frac12xy^2=\frac12(4)(-2)^2=\frac12(4)(4)=\frac12(16)=8$
