What is the output of the following code snippet? public static void main(String[] args) { double x; x = Math.pow(3.0, 2.0) + Math.pow(4.0, 2.0); System.out.println(x); }

The output of the given code snippet is 25.0.

To understand why this is the case, let’s break down the code step by step. The code first declares a variable x of type double. It then calculates the sum of two expressions using the Math.pow method, which raises the first argument to the power of the second argument.

The first part, Math.pow(3.0, 2.0), computes (3.0^2), which equals (9.0). The second part, Math.pow(4.0, 2.0), computes (4.0^2), which equals (16.0). When these two results are added together, (9.0 + 16.0) equals (25.0).

Finally, the System.out.println(x); line outputs the value of x, which has been calculated to be (25.0). Therefore, the correct output of the code snippet is indeed 25.0.
