### Problem 2

Evaluate each expression for the given value of each variable.

1. $$2 + x^3$$, $$x$$ is 3

2. $$x^2$$, $$x$$ is $$\frac{1}{2}$$

3. $$3x^2+y$$, $$x$$ is 5 $$y$$ is 3

4. $$10y + x^2$$, $$x$$ is 6 $$y$$ is 4

### Problem 3

Decide if the expressions have the same value. If not, determine which expression has the larger value.

1. $$2^3$$ and $$3^2$$

2. $$1^{31}$$ and $$31^1$$

3. $$4^2$$ and $$2^4$$

4. $$\left(\frac12\right)^3$$ and $$\left(\frac13\right)^2$$
