Evaluate: a+b4
where a=2
, b=3
.(1 point)

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( a + b^4 \) using the values \( a = 2 \) and \( b = 3 \):

1. Substitute the values into the expression: \[ 2 + 3^4 \]

2. Calculate \( 3^4 \): \[ 3^4 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 81 \]

3. Now substitute \( 81 \) back into the expression: \[ 2 + 81 = 83 \]

Therefore, the final answer is \( \boxed{83} \).
