If x=2, use the polynomial 48x^3 +56x^2+16x to find the volume of the prism

Answer 1

Given the expression 48x³+56x²+16x, we can evaluate the polynomial when x=2.

First, we replace each "x" in the equation with 2.

48(2)³+56(2)²+16(2)

Next, we simplify the exponents.

48(8)+56(4)+16(2)

Using PEMDAS, we first must multiply the three pairs of numbers.

384+224+32

Finally, simplify by adding.
