Paul predicts that n stalks of corn planted together will produce (2n2–2n)(2n2–2n) ears of corn. if paul plants three corn plants, how many ears of corn does paul expect to harvest? 24 ears 30 ears 12 ears 6 ears

Given that the production of n stalks of corn planted has been modeled by (2n^2-2n), then the approximate ears of corn produced by 3 stalks will be given by:
2n^2-2n
plugging in n=3 in the formula we get:
2(3)^2-2(3)
simplifying we get:
2(9)-6
=18-6
=12
the answer is: 12 ears

Ibelieve the answer your looking for is d.
