Evaluate each expression if $a=3$, $b=-2$, and $c=1.2$.

$c^2-ab$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The required answer is $6.44$.

Step 1- Perform the substitution

Substitute the provided values of a, b and c into the provided expression.

${\left(1.2\right)}^2-3\left(-2\right)$

Step 2 – Simplify the expression

Write the obtained expression in the simplified form.

$\begin{array}{c}\left(1.2\right)\left(1.2\right)+6=1.44+6\\ =6.44\end{array}$
