What is the value of \(9^2 + 4^3\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 145
Compute the powers first: \(9^2=81\) and \(4^3=64\). Adding these gives \(81+64=145\), so 145 is correct. Option A (93) is a common mistake from treating \(4^3\) as \(4\times3=12\). Exam tip: always evaluate exponents before performing addition or other operations.
