Question

What is the value of the expression x^2y–y+xy^2–x for x=4 and y=0.25?

Answer 1

Answer:

0 (zero)

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} y - y + x {y}^{2} - x \\ = {4}^{2} \times 0.25 - 0.25 + 4 \times {0.25}^{2} - 4 \\ = 16 \times 0.25 - 0.25 + 4 \times 0.0625- 4 \\ = 4 - 0.25 + 0.25 - 4 \\ = 0 \\ \\ \purple {\boxed{ \bold{ \therefore \: {x}^{2} y - y + x {y}^{2} - x = 0}}}$
