Evaluating Quadratic Expressions

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate quadratic expressions by substituting variables with given values. It emphasizes the importance of using parentheses to correctly interpret negative numbers and demonstrates the order of operations in calculations. Two examples are provided: one with variable p and another with variable x, showing step-by-step evaluation to reach the final result.

Why is it important to use parentheses when substituting values in expressions?

• To make the expression look neat

• To ensure correct order of operations

• To avoid confusion with variables

• To simplify the expression
