X-y=. 2-3=-1

x(y)=. 2(3)=6

x+y= 2+3= 5

x/y= 2/3= 0.66......

Therefore, x-y has the smallest value, that is -1.

Answer:

x - y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the first expression is negative:

2 - 3 = -1

All of the other expressions give positive values, so are larger.

The expression with the smallest value is x-y.

_____

If x(y) is supposed to mean x^y, the exponentiation operator is needed. Otherwise, it is interpreted as x·y.

Step 3

EXPLANATION

The given polynomial expression is:

$2 {p}^{2} - 3p - 7 - (3 {p}^{2} + p - 5)$

Fatau correctly expanded the parenthesis in the first step.

$2 {p}^{2} - 3p - 7 - 3 {p}^{2} - p + 5$

Fatau also correctly grouped the like terms to obtain:

$(2- 3) {p}^{2} + (- 3 - 1)p + (- 7 + 5)$

Fatau committed a mistake at the third step.

Instead of obtaining,

$- {p}^{2} - 4p - 2$

He mistakenly got:

${p}^{2} - 2p +2$
