Question

Given the relation y = 7x2 + 3, if the input is 4, what is the output? (4 points)

Answer 1

Answer:115

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

I'm assuming that you meant: 
y = 7x² + 3 

Remember! Inputs are always x values (unless stated otherwise). Meaning the problem says: 
x = 4 

y = 7(4)² + 3 

The square only applies to the 4. The 7 is not going to be squared! (To be exact it only applies to whatever the value of x is. 

4² = 4·4 = 16

Remember: 
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Follow PEMDAS from left to right (or in the case above from top to bottom).

7·16 + 3 = ? 

16·7 = 10·7 + 6·7 = 70 + 42 = 112
(All I did to multiply was break it up into parts. If it confuses you don't worry about it, and just multiply it out like normal or use a calculator if you are allowed to)

112 + 3 = ? 

Our output is: 
115!
