The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem using the operation defined as \( a \Delta b = a \times a + b \times b - a \times b \), we need to find the value of \( (-3) \Delta 2 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Substitute the values into the operation**: We have \( a = -3 \) and \( b = 2 \). So, we substitute these values into the operation: \[ (-3) \Delta 2 = (-3) \times (-3) + 2 \times 2 - (-3) \times 2 \] 2. **Calculate each term**: - First, calculate \( (-3) \times (-3) \): \[ (-3) \times (-3) = 9 \] - Next, calculate \( 2 \times 2 \): \[ 2 \times 2 = 4 \] - Finally, calculate \( -(-3) \times 2 \): \[ -(-3) \times 2 = 3 \times 2 = 6 \] 3. **Combine the results**: Now, we combine all the calculated terms: \[ 9 + 4 - 6 \] 4. **Perform the addition and subtraction**: - First, add \( 9 + 4 \): \[ 9 + 4 = 13 \] - Then, subtract \( 6 \) from \( 13 \): \[ 13 - 6 = 7 \] 5. **Final Result**: Therefore, the value of \( (-3) \Delta 2 \) is: \[ (-3) \Delta 2 = 7 \]
