Chapter 1.1, Problem 1AGP

To determine

To express: the given algebraic expression into verbal expression.

Answer to Problem 1AGP

The product of 16 and $u$ to the power 2 less than a number 3.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given algebraic expression is $16u^2-3$ .

Calculation:

As the given expression is $16u^2-3$ .

First change the $16u^2$ into verbal expression, then

  $16u^2$ can be written as the product of 16 and $u$ to the power 2.

Therefore, $16u^2-3$ can be written as “the product of 16 $u$ to the power 2less than a number 3”.

Hence, the verbal expression is the product of 16 and $u$ to the power 2 less than a number 3.
