Evaluate the expression [tex]\frac{x}{3} + 3y^2 + 1[/tex] when [tex]x = 21[/tex] and [tex]y = -2[/tex].

Then evaluate the same expression when [tex]x = 3[/tex] and [tex]y = 4[/tex].


Sagot :

Sure, let's evaluate the given expression step-by-step for both sets of values.

The expression we need to evaluate is:

[tex]\[ \frac{x}{3} + 3y^2 + 1 \][/tex]

Let's start with the first set of values: [tex]\(x = 21\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = -2\)[/tex].

### Evaluation when [tex]\(x = 21\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = -2\)[/tex]:

1. Substitute [tex]\(x = 21\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = -2\)[/tex] into the expression:
[tex]\[ \frac{21}{3} + 3(-2)^2 + 1 \][/tex]

2. Calculate [tex]\(\frac{21}{3}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{21}{3} = 7 \][/tex]

3. Calculate [tex]\(3(-2)^2\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ (-2)^2 = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 3 \times 4 = 12 \][/tex]

4. Add the results of the individual calculations:
[tex]\[ 7 + 12 + 1 = 20 \][/tex]

So, the value of the expression when [tex]\(x = 21\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = -2\)[/tex] is [tex]\(\boxed{20.0}\)[/tex].

### Evaluation when [tex]\(x = 3\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = 4\)[/tex]:

1. Substitute [tex]\(x = 3\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = 4\)[/tex] into the expression:
[tex]\[ \frac{3}{3} + 3(4)^2 + 1 \][/tex]

2. Calculate [tex]\(\frac{3}{3}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{3}{3} = 1 \][/tex]

3. Calculate [tex]\(3(4)^2\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ (4)^2 = 16 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 3 \times 16 = 48 \][/tex]

4. Add the results of the individual calculations:
[tex]\[ 1 + 48 + 1 = 50 \][/tex]

So, the value of the expression when [tex]\(x = 3\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = 4\)[/tex] is [tex]\(\boxed{50.0}\)[/tex].

In conclusion, the evaluated expressions are:
- For [tex]\(x = 21\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = -2\)[/tex], the result is [tex]\(20.0\)[/tex].
- For [tex]\(x = 3\)[/tex] and [tex]\(y = 4\)[/tex], the result is [tex]\(50.0\)[/tex].
