Question

Evaluate p2-5 when p=14

Answer 1

Answer & explanation

We need to evaluate the function
`\sf{p^2-5}` for p = 14. So, what we do is we substitute 14 for p:

`\sf{14^2-5}`

Now, just follow the order of operations in PEMDAS - exponents come first.

`\sf{196-5}`

Subtract:

`\sf{191}`

▸Our answer is therefore: 191.

Answer 2

191

Explanation:

To evaluate p² - 5 when p = 14, you can substitute the value of p into the expression and perform the calculations:

p² - 5

= 14² - 5

= 196 - 5

= 191
