Advanced Math practice question

Answer: 7

s(2) = 2² + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7.

Common wrong answers

If you answered 8

8 is 2³, again mixing the +3 into the exponent.

If you answered 10

10 is 2 × 2 + 3 + 3, adding the 3 twice; s(2) = 2² + 3 = 7.

If you answered 32

32 is 2⁵, adding the 3 to the exponent instead of to the result.
