(yx)2 at x=3 and y=4 is 1.

Explanation:

To evaluate an expression means to get its value when you plug in values for variables.

You're given the values x=3 and y=4.
To evaluate (yx)2 for those values, you should plug in the values, meaning you should replace all xs with the value 3 and all ys with the value 4.

(yx)2
(43)2

Now we can simplify the expression.

(43)2
=12
=1
