If (t=5), what is the value of (t^2-4t+6)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 11
Substituting t=5 gives t^2-4t+6=5^2-4(5)+6=25-20+6=11. Therefore, 11 is the correct answer. The value 9 may result from incorrectly omitting the final +6. Exam tip: substitute the value first, then follow the order of powers, multiplication, and addition/subtraction.
