Question

5^2 - 3^2 - 2^2 = ???

Answer 1

$5^{2} - 3^{2} - 2^{2} = 25 - 9 - 4= 12$

Answer 2

5² - 3² - 2² = 25 - 9 - 4 = 12

Answer 3

Let's calculate the expression step by step:

5^2 = 5 * 5 = 25 3^2 = 3 * 3 = 9 2^2 = 2 * 2 = 4

Now, let's substitute these values into the original expression:

5^2 - 3^2 - 2^2 = 25 - 9 - 4 = 16

So, 5^2 - 3^2 - 2^2 equals 16.
