Evaluate the expression $x^4 − y$ if $x = 3$ and $y = 20$.
A) 61
B) 12
C) 41
D) 71
• Correct Answer: A) 61
• Rationale: First, calculate $x^4$, which is $3^4 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 81$.
Next, substitute $y$ into the expression and subtract: $81 - 20 = 61$.
Subtract the following numbers: $1001 − 99 =$
A) 912
