Question

If a=-4xa=−4x and b=5ib=5i, then find the value of ab^2ab 2 in fully simplified form.

Answer 1

The value of ab^2 in simplified form is -1

Given the following expressions:

• a = 4x

• b = 5i

We are to evaluate the expression $ab^2$

Substitute the given parameters into the formula to have:

$ab^2 =4x(5i)^2\\ab^2 = 4x(25i^2)\\ab^2=4x(50(-1))\\ab^2=-100x$

Hence the value of ab^2 in simplified form is -100x
