Answer:
b. 192
c. 3
d. 1,024
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a=8 and b=24, so we can substitute 8 in for a and b in for 24 in each expression.
b. ab
a*b
a=8
b=24
8*24
Multiply 8 and 24
192
ab=192
c. b/a
b/a
b=24
a=8
24/8
Divide 24 by 8
3
b/a=3
d. (a+b)^2
a=8
b=24
(8+24)^2
Add inside the parentheses first.
(32)^2
Solve the exponent. 32^2 is the same as 32*32, which is equal to 1,024
1,024
(a+b)^2=1,024
