Solve {l}{2(1)^2-3}{2(2)^2-3}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 2 ( 1 ) ^ { 2 } - 3 } \\ { 2 ( 2 ) ^ { 2 } - 3 } \end{array} \right.$$

Sort

$$-1,\ 5$$

Solution Steps

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 1 and 2 to get 3.

$$sort(2\times 1^{2}-3,2^{3}-3)$$

Calculate 1 to the power of 2 and get 1.

$$sort(2\times 1-3,2^{3}-3)$$

Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2.

$$sort(2-3,2^{3}-3)$$

Subtract 3 from 2 to get -1.

$$sort(-1,2^{3}-3)$$

Calculate 2 to the power of 3 and get 8.

$$sort(-1,8-3)$$

Subtract 3 from 8 to get 5.

$$sort(-1,5)$$

The list values are already in order.

$$-1,5$$

Evaluate

$$-1,\ 5$$
