Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Squaring a number means to multiply the number by itself.
For example, 3^2 means 3 * 3.
8^2 means 8 * 8.
(-6)^2 means (-6) * (-6).
In each case above, you see that the number that is squared is multiplied by itself.
In this case, (-4.5)^2, squaring the number -4.5, means multiply the number -4.5 by the number -4.5
(-4.5)^2 = (-4.5) * (-4.5)
Now we need to actually multiply -4.5 by -4.5
When you multiply a negative number by a negative number, the result is positive, so the product of -4.5 and -4.5 is a positive number. To find that number, you multiply 4.5 by 4.5
4.5 * 4.5 = 20.25
Therefore, (-4.5)^2 = 20.25

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to realize that the absolute value function will change the sign of its argument only if that argument is negative.
108. |x -7| = x -7 . . . . . true for x-7≥0
x ≥ 7 . . . . makes the statement true
__
1a. When m < 9, the value 6m is less than 54, so 6m-54 < 0. That means the absolute value function changes the sign of its argument:
54 -6m . . . . . simplified form for m < 9
__
1b. |y -x| = y -x . . . when y > x, the argument of the absolute value is positive
Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
MNOP to ABCD: The answer has to be greater than one because ABCD increases in size from MNOP.
To get the scale factor you have to compare the sides.
Line AD = 6 in.
Line MP = 4 in.
6/4 = 3/2
