It should be -16, assuming you are asking for -4*4. If you meant -4^4 (-4 to the fourth power) then the answer is 256.

The question is asking for the product of these two terms.

First you need to consider the sign, remember the following rules:
positive * positive = positive
negative * negative = negative
positive * negative = negative
negative * positive = negative

In the question, we have a negative term and a positive term, therefore, the answer would be negative.
Now considering the two numbers: 4*4 = 16

Based on the above and taking the sign into consideration, the answer would be as follows:
(-4)(4) = -16

The answer is C) y = 4x - 3
B and D can be eliminated by substituting 0 for x in each...the result is not -3

Answer:

~8.66cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a diagonal of a rectangular of sides a and b is

$\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

in a cube, we can start by computing the diagonal of a rectangular side/wall containing A and then the diagonal of the rectangle formed by that diagonal and the edge leading to A. If the cube has sides a, b and c, we infer that the length is:

$\sqrt{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}^2 + c^2} = \sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}$

Using this reasoning, we can prove that in a n-dimensional space, the length of the longest diagonal of a hypercube of edge lengths $a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots, a_n$ is
