Q:

The value of the expression -2 xy for x = -4.7 and y = 0.2 is _____.-18.818.81.88-1.88

Accepted Solution

A:
The value of the expression -2xy for x = -4.7 and y = 0.2 is 1.88. Thus option number 3 is correct. Solution:We have been given an expression that is -2xy and have been asked to find its value for the given values of x and y The given values of x and y are -4.7 and 0.2 respectively. To find the value of the expression for the given values of x and y we substitute the values of x and y in the given expression and solve it as follows:Given expression = -2xy[tex]\begin{array}{l}{=-2(-4.7)(0.2)} \\\\ {=9.4 \times 0.2} \\\\ {=1.88}\end{array}[/tex]Hence the option number 3 is correct.
