1 answer

To find the value of the expression 5x^2 + 2y when x = -3 and y = 0.25, we substitute these values into the expression:

5(-3)^2 + 2(0.25)

Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses:

5(9) + 2(0.25)

Multiplying:

45 + 0.5

Adding:

45.5

Therefore, 5x^2 + 2y when x = -3 and y = 0.25 is equal to 45.5.
