what is the value of 14 - ato the second power given a = -3
Do you mean 14 - a ^ 2 ?
yeah
14 - a^2
= 14 - (-3)^2 , if a = -3
= 14 - (9)
= 5
thanks already figured it out on connections
To find the value of 14 raised to the second power, given that a is equal to -3, you need to substitute the value of a into the expression and then perform the calculation.
Let's start by substituting the value of a into the expression:
a = -3
Now, replace a with -3:
14^2 = 14 * 14
Now we can calculate the expression:
14 * 14 = 196
Therefore, the value of 14 raised to the second power, when a is equal to -3, is 196.
