To evaluate the expression [tex]\((s - v)^2\)[/tex] given that [tex]\(s = 11\)[/tex] and [tex]\(v = 8\)[/tex], we can follow these steps:
1. Substitute the values of [tex]\(s\)[/tex] and [tex]\(v\)[/tex] into the expression:
[tex]\[
(11 - 8)^2
\][/tex]
2. Calculate the difference inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[
11 - 8 = 3
\][/tex]
3. Then, take the result from the previous step and square it:
[tex]\[
3^2
\][/tex]
4. Finally, compute the square of 3:
[tex]\[
3^2 = 9
\][/tex]
Therefore, [tex]\((s - v)^2\)[/tex] evaluates to:
[tex]\[
9
\][/tex]
