12 + x to the power of 4 - 6 when x = 8
iren [92.7K]

value of  12+x^4-6 at x=8 is  5002 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

here we need to evaluate 12 + x to the power of 4 - 6 when x = 8 or , 12+x^4-6 where x=8 . Let's find out:

⇒ 12+x^4-6

Putting x =8 :

⇒ 12+8^4-6

Splitting 8 to power 4 into 8 to power 2 ( 2 times )

⇒ 12+8^2(8^2)-6

⇒ 12+64(64)-6

⇒ 12+4096-6

⇒ 4096+6

⇒ 5002

Therefore , value of  12+x^4-6 at x=8 is  5002 .
