Question

Combine like terms in the given polynomial. Then, evaluate for x = 4, y = – 2.

Answer 1

Answer:

- 2 x y^2+3 x^2 y -xy

-120

Step-by-step explanation:

xy – 2xy + 3x^2 y — 4x y^2 + 2xy^2

Combine like terms

xy – 2xy + 3x^2 y — 4x y^2 + 2xy^2

- x y+3 x^2 y - 2 x y^2

Let x = 4 y = -2

-(4)(-2) +3(4)^2 (-2) -2(4)(-2)^2

Exponents first

-(4)(-2) +3(16) (-2) -2(4)(4)

Multiply

+8 -96-32

Add and subtract

-120
