Variable Expressions with Exponents

Create a Circle of Evaluation for the given expression. Once you have drawn a Circle of Evaluation, evaluate the expression by substituting in the value provided in the third column. The first one is done for you.

	Expression	Circle of Evaluation	Evaluate
1	3x²	(* 3 (expt x 2))	Evaluate for x = 5. 3x² = 75
2	$$\displaystyle {m^2\over\displaystyle4}$$		Evaluate for m = 10.
3	6 + w³		Evaluate for w = 3.
4	¹ /₂₅ × 5^b		Evaluate for b = 3.
5	(7 + c)²		Evaluate for c = 13.
6	5w^m		Evaluate for w = 6 and m = 2.
