Combine like terms in the given polynomial. Then, evaluate for x = 4, y = – 2. xy – 2xy + 3x2 y — 4x y2 + 2xy2
3x2 y + 2xy2 – xy; – 56
C - xy – 2xy2 + 3x2y; – 56
Cx? y2 – 2; 62
C
– 2x y2 + 3x2y – xy; – 120

Need explanation please

- 2 x y^2+3 x^2 y -xy

-120

Step-by-step explanation:

xy – 2xy + 3x^2 y — 4x y^2 + 2xy^2

Combine like terms

xy – 2xy + 3x^2 y — 4x y^2 + 2xy^2

- x y+3 x^2 y - 2 x y^2

Let x = 4 y = -2

-(4)(-2) +3(4)^2 (-2) -2(4)(-2)^2

Exponents first

-(4)(-2) +3(16) (-2) -2(4)(4)

Multiply

+8 -96-32

Add and subtract

-120

a - base

b - exponent

so,
