Evaluate this expression for a= -2
2a to the 3rd power times (2a) to the 3rd power
To evaluate the expression 2a^3 * (2a)^3 for a = -2, we need to substitute -2 in place of a and compute the result step by step.
Let's start by substituting -2 for a:
2(-2)^3 * (2(-2))^3
Now, let's simplify the exponents:
2(-8) * (-4)^3
Next, compute each exponent:
2(-8) * (-64)
Now, perform the multiplication:
-16 * (-64)
Finally, multiply the values:
1024
So, the value of the given expression when a = -2 is 1024.
Substitute in -2 for each a value... and remember to the third power means write it out three times....
So you have 2aaa x (2a)(2a)(2a)
= 2x-2x-2x-2x(2x-2)(2x-2)(2x-2)
= ...
