Exercise 1 Page 56

Substitute - 3 for m and 2 for n.

B

Practice makes perfect
To evaluate the given expression for m=- 3 and n=2, we should substitute these values into the expression and simplify as much as possible.
m^2+2mn/n^2-1
( - 3)^2+2( - 3)( 2)/2^2-1
9+2(- 3)(2)/4-1
9+2(- 6)/4-1
9-12/4-1
- 3/3
-3/3
- 1
This corresponds to option B.
