Answer:
Option 3 is correct as Leon multiplied 8 by 2 when he should have raised 8 to a power of 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Leon evaluated the expression [tex](-4a-6)+a^2[/tex] for a=8
(-4(8) - 6) + 82 , (-32-6) + 82 , (-38) + 82 , (-38) + 16 –19 + 16 –3
Leon's work is not so proper , Option 3 is correct as Leon multiplied 8 by 2 when he should have raised 8 to a power of 2.
Correct steps are :
Step 1 : [tex](-4a-6)+a^2[/tex]
Step 2 : Put a=8 in the equation we get,
[tex]=(-4(8)-6)+8^2[/tex]
[tex]=(-32-6)+8^2[/tex]
[tex]=-38+8^2[/tex]
[tex]=-38+64[/tex]
[tex]=26[/tex]
Therefore, correct answer is 26.
