Answer:
-64
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking to solve
Notice how the -4 is in parenthesis. This means that along with the 4 being multiplied, the negative is too.
is the same as -4 · -4 · -4
First let's figure out if this will be negative or positive
Whenever the exponent is odd and there is a negative in the parenthesis the answer will be negative and if its even it will be positive
Now find out what 4 x 4 x 4 equals (64)
In conclusion the answer is -64
The greatest common factor is 2
This is because we start by taking the largest factor that goes into both coefficients. Since the first coefficient is 2, we have to try 2 and 1. Since 2 is larger and goes into 36 evenly, we use that.
Then we use the smallest number of each variable. There are 4 r's in both equations. So, that is the number that we take. There are 2 s's in the first term, so we take that number.
