Sure, let's solve the given expression step-by-step.
Given:
[tex]\[ 2x^3 \][/tex]
We need to evaluate this expression when [tex]\( x = 5 \)[/tex].
1. Substitute [tex]\( x = 5 \)[/tex] into the expression:
[tex]\[ 2 (5)^3 \][/tex]
2. Calculate [tex]\( 5^3 \)[/tex]. This means multiplying 5 by itself three times:
[tex]\[ 5 \times 5 \times 5 = 125 \][/tex]
3. Now, multiply 2 by the result of [tex]\( 5^3 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 2 \times 125 \][/tex]
4. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[ 2 \times 125 = 250 \][/tex]
So, if [tex]\( x = 5 \)[/tex], then [tex]\( 2 x^3 = 250 \)[/tex].
Therefore,
[tex]\[ 2 x^3 = 250 \][/tex]
when [tex]\( x = 5 \)[/tex].
