What is the value of the expression 2x^2 y /4xy when x = 2 and y = 1?
a)1
b)2
c)3
d)4
Just need to know if my answer is right or wrong and i picked a
Thanks bobpursley
To find the value of the expression, you need to substitute the given values of x and y into the expression and simplify.
Given expression: (2x^2 y) / (4xy)
Substitute x = 2 and y = 1 into the expression:
(2(2)^2 * 1) / (4 * 2 * 1)
Now simplify:
= (2 * 4 * 1) / (8 * 1)
= 8 / 8
= 1
So, the value of the expression when x = 2 and y = 1 is 1.
Therefore, your answer of a) 1 is correct.
