Answer:
Option 4
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2(a+6)[/tex]
Substitute [tex]a=2[/tex]:
[tex]2(2+6)=2(8)=16[/tex]
-------------------------------
Check first option:
[tex]4a+8[/tex]
Substitute [tex]a=2[/tex]:
[tex]4(2)+8=8+8=16[/tex]
Since 16 is not greater than 16, the first option is incorrect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check second option:
[tex]2a+a^2[/tex]
Substitute [tex]a=2[/tex]:
[tex]2(2)+2^{2} =4+4=8[/tex]
Since 8 is not greater than 16, the second option is incorrect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check third option:
[tex]2a+12[/tex]
Substitute [tex]a=2[/tex]:
[tex]2(2)+12=4+12=16[/tex]
Since 16 is not greater than 16, the third option is incorrect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check fourth option:
[tex]a^4+2[/tex]
Substitute [tex]a=2[/tex]:
[tex]2^4+2=16+2=18[/tex]
Since 18 is greater than 16, the fourth option is correct.
