To simplify the expression a + b^4 where a + 2 and b = 3, we substitute the given values of a and b into the expression:
a + b^4 = (a + 2) + (3)^4
Since b = 3, b^4 = 3^4 = 81.
Now we substitute the value of b^4:
(a + 2) + 81
Combining like terms:
a + 83
Therefore, the simplified expression is a + 83.
simplify: a + b ^ 4 where a + 2, b = 3
