When expanded it would be 3+0.4+0.04+0.001. There is two fours, but because it is written in expanded form you can see that one is four tenths and the other is four hundredths. Although they are the same digit, you can see that they are different values, the way you wrote it helping you with that.

Graph the equation: x = y^2 - 2

Lesechka [4]

Draw a cartesian plane, create a graph with the equation x = y^2 - 2
then substitute numbers into the equation so that it is true, to find points on the graph, e.g. substitute y with 1, you get
x = 1^2 - 2
x = 1 - 2 = -1, so when y = 1, x = -1, this point is (-1, 1)

for the next substitute y with 2,
x = 2^2 - 2
x = 4 - 2 = 2, the point is (2, 2)
you might want to try negative values of y
y = -1, x = (-1)^2 - 2
x = -1 the point is (-1,-1)

then plot the points on the graph
