Evaluate a² + 2b when a = ⅘, and b = ⅖

36/25

Step-by-step explanation:

We would like to find the value of a² + 2b, given that a = 4/5 and b = 2/5.

Essentially, we just plug in 4/5 for a and 2/5 for b:

a² + 2b = (4/5)² + 2(2/5)

Remember that this little 2 symbol at the top of a means that we're squaring a. Squaring a number "a" just means that we are multiplying a to itself twice:

a² = a * a

So:

(4/5)² + 2 * (2/5) = (4/5) * (4/5) + 2 * (2/5)

Multiply the numerators and denominators for the first part:

(4 * 4) / (5 * 5) + 2 * (2/5) = 16/25 + 2 * (2/5)

Multiply the 2 by the numerator of 2/5 for the second part:

16/25 + (2 * 2)/5 = 16/25 + 4/5

We now need to add these two fractions. Find the common denominator; it's just 5 * 5 = 25. The first fraction, 16/25, already has 25 as its denominator, but we need to make 25 the denominator of the second fraction. To do so, we multiply the top and bottom by 5:

(4/5) * (5/5) = 20/25

Our equation is now:

16/25 + 20/25

Add the numerators:

(16 + 20)/25 = 36/25

And our answer is 36/25.

because its not ur topic and its not for is for homework not that.

f(x) has value 150 at x= 0

and 0 at x= 3

so d(f(x))/dt = slope = -150/3 = -50
