Question

Evaluate this exponential expression.8.(2+ 3)^2 – 4^2

Answer 1

We are given the following expression:

$8.\mleft(2+3\mright)^2-4^2$

To solve the expression we will add the numbers inside the parenthesis:

$8.(2+3)^2-4^2=8(5^2)-4^2$

Now we solve the squares:

$8(5^2)-4^2=8(25)-16$

Now we solve the product:

$8(25)-16=200-16$

Now we solve the operation:

$200-16=184$

Therefore, the expression is equivalent to 184.
