Value of an algebraic expression depends on the values of its variables usually. The value of [tex]2x^2[/tex] for given condition is obtained to be 18
You can simply replace those variables with the value you know of them and then operate on those values to get a final value. This is the result of that expression at those values of the considered variables.
For the given case, we are given that [tex]x - 1 =2[/tex]
By this, we can get the value of the variable 'x' as:
[tex]x - 1 = 2\\\text{Adding 1 on both the sides, we get}\\x = 3[/tex]
Now, putting 3, in place of x, in expression [tex]2x^2[/tex], we get:
[tex]2x^2 = 2 \times (3^2) = 2 \times 9 = 18\\[/tex]
( sign of multiplication is often hidden if there are non numeric symbols and numbers being multiplied are written together, thus, [tex]2x^2 = 2 \times x^2[/tex])
Thus, the value of [tex]2x^2[/tex] for given condition is obtained to be 18
