If # is a binay operation defied by a # b = a^2 + b, find the value of 4 # 1.
If # is a binary operation defied by a # b = a^2 + b, find the value of 4 # 1.
Just do what it says, you defined the operator.
if a # b = a^2 + b
4 # 1 = 4^2 + 1 = 17
To find the value of 4 # 1 using the given binary operation, we can substitute the values of a and b into the expression a^2 + b.
Let's substitute a = 4 and b = 1 into the expression:
4 # 1 = 4^2 + 1
Now we can evaluate the expression:
4 # 1 = 16 + 1
4 # 1 = 17
Therefore, the value of 4 # 1 using the given binary operation is 17.
