Answer:

  • (-2)^2 = 4
  • -2^2 = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The first is (-2)(-2) = 4.

The second is -(2)(2) = -4.

The order of operations says exponents are evaluated first. An exponent signifies repeated multiplication of the base.

_____

If your calculator is working correctly, it will show you the difference.

__

Beware spreadsheet programs. They don't always follow the order of operations when evaluating formulas. Parentheses are often required to keep them honest.

What is the length of the arc shown in​ red?
professor190 [17]

Answer:

≈ 18.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc length is calculated as

arc = circumference of circle × fraction of circle

The central angle is equal to the arc subtending it, that is 60°

  arc = 2πr × \frac{60}{360}

        = 2π × 18 × \frac{1}{6}

        = 36π × \frac{1}{6}

        = 6π ≈ 18.8 cm ( to 1 dec. place )

Let u=  (-1,3) and w =(2,4) Find the resulting vector of 2u-4w  in component form..
IgorLugansk [536]
Very simple. You just use the vectors as normal numbers, and multiply the coordinates with 2 and 4 like this: 

2*u = 2* (2,4) = (4,8)
4*w = 4* (-1,3) = (-4,12)

(4,8) - (-4,12) = (8,-4)

So the vector has the coordinates (8,-4)

The ratio of Victors money to Susies money is 4:7 at first. After Victor spent half of his money and Susie spent $60, Susie had
valkas [14]

Answer:

Victor originally had $80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Victor have $4x

Let Susie have $7x

Since Victor spent half his money, he now has $2x

Susie spent $60 and thus now has $(7x - 60)

The final ratio of Victor's money to Susie's money is therefore  2x : $(7x - 60). This is given 1:2. Now we just need to solve the proportion by cross-multiplying

2x : (7x - 60) = 1:2

1 × (7x - 60) = 2 × 2x

7x - 60 = 4x

3x = 60

x = 20

Therefore Victor originally had $4x = $80.

Can someone pls help me with this question pls NUMBER 6
katrin2010 [14]

Supplementary angles definition: They add up to 180°

There are several ways to prove a parallelogram:

1. Opposite sides theorem converse

2. Opposite angles theorem converse

3. Parallelogram diagonals theorem converse

4. Parallel congruent sides theorem

∠P + ∠Q = 180° --1

∠P + ∠S = 180° --2

1: ∠P = 180° - ∠Q

Sub 1 into 2:

180° - ∠Q + ∠S = 180°

180° + ∠S = 180° + ∠Q

∠S = ∠Q

Or you can try saying the opposite sides are parallel, since they are interior angles and those are straight lines
