Convert the decimal number to a fraction by placing the decimal number over a power of ten. Since there are
2
2
numbers to the right of the decimal point, place the decimal number over
10
2
10
2
(
100
)
(
100
)
. Next, add the whole number to the left of the decimal.
- 2(3) + 22 - 8 - 2=
-6 + 12 =
6
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15
3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 3^5 (because there are 5 threes multiplied together)
-2x^3 + 22 - 8 - 2 =
-2x^3 + 12
hope this helps
