Evaluate the expression (ab)^2for a=2 and b=5

(ab)^2 = (10)^2 = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

(ab)^2

where a = 2

b = 5

Now put the values of a and b in the expression:

(a*b)^2

(2*5)^2

Multiply 2 and 5 and then find the square of the value.

(10)^2

(10)^2 means multiply 10 two times

10*10 = 100

(10)^2 = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expression:

You know that the value of "a" is:

And "b" is:

Therefore, in order to evaluate the given expression for   and  , you need to substitute these values into the expression:

Now solve the multiplication inside the parentheses:

Since , you get:

9(2p-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor an expression, find the GCF of each term. 18p and 36 share in common the factor 9. Divide each term by 9 to get the factor.

18p - 36 = 9(2p-4)
