Mathematical operations are used to represent the relationship between variables
The results of the operations are 8 and 254
The operation is given as:
a * b = 4a^2 - b
(a) 2 * 8
This means that:
a = 2
b = 8
So, we have:
2 * 8 = 4 * 2^2 - 8
Evaluate the exponents
2 * 8 = 4 * 4 - 8
Multiply
2 * 8 = 16 - 8
Subtract
2 * 8 = 8
(b) 2 * 8 * 2
In (a), we have:
2 * 8 = 8
So, the operation becomes
2 * 8 * 2 = 8 * 2
This means that:
a = 8
b = 2
So, we have:
8 * 2 = 4 * 8^2 - 2
Evaluate the exponents
8 * 2 = 4 * 64 - 2
Multiply
8 * 2 = 256 - 2
Subtract
8 * 2 = 254
Hence, the results of the operations are 8 and 254
