Consider the expression 16t2+250
To simplify the expression, by substitute the value of variable by given term.
So simplify as follow:
Substitute the value of variable t=2.
16t2+250=16(2)2+250 [Substitute the variable.]
=-16*4+250 [Write the value of square.]
=-64+250 [Multiply them.]
=186 [Simplify the term.]
Therefore, the simplified term is 186.
