Standard Operating Procedure: Calculating Material Stress

As a Quality Control Supervisor in a manufacturing plant, you are updating the standard operating procedures (SOP) for junior technicians. One of the steps involves calculating a 'Material Stress Factor' using the formula 4x22xy+3y2{}4x^2 - 2xy + 3y^2. You need to document the exact process for a test case where the temperature variable is x=2x = 2 and the pressure variable is y=1y = -1. Write a brief SOP section that recalls and lists the step-by-step mathematical procedure (substitution, evaluating exponents, multiplication, and final addition/subtraction) required to successfully evaluate this expression.
