Plug in 2 for x, and -4 for y
2(2)² + 3(2)(-4) - (-4)²
2² = 4(2) = 8
3(2) = 6(-4) = -24
-4² = 16
8 - 24 - 16 = answer
Simplify.
answer = 8 - 40
answer = -32
-32 is your answer
hope this helps
22.9 is the closest but not exact. It was probably rounded off.
I used the formula: leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2
(You can use that formula for any right triangle.)
I found this :) hope it helps
