Let '*' and '^' be two binary operations such that a * b = a2b and a ^ b = 2a + b. Find (-4 * 2) ^ (7 * -1).

A.

-49

B.

64

C.

113

D.

15

Correct Answer: 15

Explanation

Given that, a * b = a2b and a ^ b = 2a + b (-4 * 2) = (-4)2 x 2 = 16 x 2 = 32 (7 * -1) = 72 x (-1) = 49 x (-1) = -49 ∴ (-4 * 2) ^ (7 * -1) = 2(32) + (-49) = 64 - 49 = 15

Given that, a * b = a2b and a ^ b = 2a + b (-4 * 2) = (-4)2 x 2 = 16 x 2 = 32 (7 * -1) = 72 x (-1) = 49 x (-1) = -49 ∴ (-4 * 2) ^ (7 * -1) = 2(32) + (-49) = 64 - 49 = 15
