Evaluate each expression for the given value of the variable.

2x2 for x =3

Is that 2x squared?

We write that as 2x^2

yes ma'am.

is is 2x3=6^2 = 36

To evaluate the expression 2x^2 for x = 3, we substitute the value of x into the expression and simplify.

Step 1: Substitute x = 3 into the expression.

2(3)^2

Step 2: Simplify the expression.

2(9)

Step 3: Multiply.

18

Therefore, when x = 3, the expression 2x^2 is equal to 18.

To evaluate the expression 2x^2 for x = 3, you need to substitute the value of x into the expression and calculate the result.

Step 1: Replace x with the given value of 3 in the expression 2x^2.
2(3)^2

Step 2: Simplify the expression by calculating the exponent first.
2(9)

Step 3: Evaluate the multiplication operation.
18

Therefore, when x = 3, the value of the expression 2x^2 is 18.
