Question

How to solve for -3x squared + 2y squared + 5xy - 2y + 5x squared - 3y squared when x = 0.5 and y = -1/10??

Answer 1

Answer:

0.44

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x^2 + 2y^2 + 5xy - 2y +5x^2 - 3y^2

Combine like terms

-3x^2 + 5x^2 = 2x^2 2y^2 - 3y^2 = -1y^2

2x^2 - 1y^2 + 5xy - 2y

Now plug in the solutions Note: it is easier if you have all decimals or all fractions (-1/10=-.1

2(0.5)^2 - 1(-0.1)^2 + 5(0.5)(-0.1) - 2(-0.1)

Simplify:

0.5 - 0.01 - 0.25 + 0.2

0.5 + 0.2 - 0.01 - 0.25

0.7 - 0.26

0.44
