If p=0.5 and q=-3
q/p +(q)^2
-3/5+9=12/0.5 check this
q/p +(q)^2 = -3/.5 + 9 = -6 + 9 = 3
What happen to the .5 on the bottom
huh? -3/.5 = 6
To evaluate the expression q/p +(q)^2, we substitute the given values of p=0.5 and q=-3 into the expression.
q/p +(q)^2 = (-3)/0.5 + (-3)^2
First, let's simplify the expression -3/0.5:
-3/0.5 can be rewritten as -3 * (1/0.5). Since 1/0.5 is equivalent to 2, we have:
-3 * 2 = -6
Next, let's simplify the expression (-3)^2:
(-3)^2 is equal to (-3) * (-3), which results in:
9
Finally, let's substitute these simplified values back into our original expression:
q/p +(q)^2 = -6 + 9
Now, we can calculate -6 + 9:
-6 + 9 = 3
Therefore, the value of q/p +(q)^2 when p=0.5 and q=-3 is 3.
Now let's check if 3 is equal to 12/0.5:
12/0.5 = 24
Since 3 is not equal to 24, the check fails.
