    -17
  2. B
    17
  3. 1Cevap
  4. D
    -26

Cevap

The correct value of the expression is 1.
The expression correctly evaluates to 1 by substituting the variables with their respective negative values and strictly following the order of operations (calculating exponents, then multiplication, then addition).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Substitute the given numerical values into the variables in the expression.
(−3)2+4(−2)(-3)^2 + 4(-2)
To begin evaluating the algebraic expression, each variable must be replaced with its assigned value.
2
Evaluate the exponent portion of the expression.
9+4(−2)9 + 4(-2)
According to the order of operations, exponents are calculated before multiplication or addition. Squaring a negative number results in a positive value.
3
Perform the multiplication.
9−89 - 8
Multiplication precedes addition in the order of operations. Multiplying a positive integer by a negative integer gives a negative result.
4
Calculate the final sum.
11
Combining the remaining terms provides the final evaluated result of the expression.
