Julio is testing a hypothesis than "n" stalks of corn planted together will produce(2n[second power symbol-the little 2 at the top]-2n)ears of corn. If Julio plants 6 corn plants, how many ears of corn does Julio expect to harvest?
2*6*6 = 72
To find the number of ears of corn Julio expects to harvest, we need to substitute the value of "n" in the given equation and then solve it.
The equation given is: 2n² - 2n
Substitute the value of "n" with 6:
2(6)² - 2(6)
Simplify the equation:
2 * 36 - 12
Multiply first:
72 - 12
Finally:
60
Therefore, Julio expects to harvest 60 ears of corn when he plants 6 corn plants.
