Given that x 2 and y - frac 1 4 evaluate frac x... - WAEC Mathematics 2008 Question
Given that x = 2 and y = -\(\frac{1}{4}\), evaluate \(\frac{x^2y - 2xy}{5}\)
A
zero
B
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
C
1
D
2
correct option: a
Given; x = 2; y = \(\frac{-1}{4}\)
= \(\frac{x^2y - 2xy}{5}\)
= \(\frac{2^2(\frac{-1}{4}) - 2(2)(\frac{-1}{4})}{5}\)
= \(\frac{4(\frac{-1}{4}) + 4(\frac{-1}{4})}{5}\)
= \(\frac{1 + 1}{5}\)
= \(\frac{0}{5}\)
= 0
= \(\frac{x^2y - 2xy}{5}\)
= \(\frac{2^2(\frac{-1}{4}) - 2(2)(\frac{-1}{4})}{5}\)
= \(\frac{4(\frac{-1}{4}) + 4(\frac{-1}{4})}{5}\)
= \(\frac{1 + 1}{5}\)
= \(\frac{0}{5}\)
= 0
