What is the numerical value of x^2y if x = 2 and y = 3?

  1. 32

  2. 12

  3. 6

  4. 18

The correct answer is: 18

When solving for a numerical value, it is important to follow the order of operations. This involves first finding the value of x^2, which is 4, and then multiplying it by the given value of y, which is 3. This results in a value of 12 for the expression x^2y. Therefore, option D, 18, is the correct answer. Option A, 32, is incorrect as it is the result when adding x and y, rather than multiplying them together. Option B, 12, is incorrect as it is the result when multiplying x and y, rather than finding the value of x^2 and then multiplying by y. Option C, 6, is incorrect as it is the result when only finding the value of x^2, rather than multiplying it by y.
