No, becasue of PEMDAS
so parenthasees first
exponents next
mulitplciation next

(-2)^4=-2 times -2 times -2 times -2=positive number since even number of negative signs

-2^4=-1 times 2^2=-1 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 2=negative number since odd number of negative signs

They are not equivalent. 
because (-2)^4 is in the parenthesis so the - before 2 are together and both will go to the 4 power so the answer will be: (-2)^4 = 16 
but the other one is not in the parenthesis so the - will not go to the 4 power and the answer will be: -2^4 = -16 
so 16 is not equivalent to -16 :)))
i hope this is helpful 
have a nice day

Contact [7]

Answer:

The answer is most likely 5 shrimp eats 5 grams of food im one day,

Step-by-step explanation:

At an aquarium, a shrimp if fed 1/5 gram of food each feeding and is fed 3 times each day. <em>What is the constant of proportionality and what does it tell us about the situation?</em>

So, We know the shrimp is fed 1/5 gram of food each feeding, And we know the shrimp is fed 3 times each day.

Now, We need to answer the question, <u><em>What is the constant of proportionality and what does it tell us about the situation?</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

Then, That means '5, shrimp eats 5 grams of food in one day ' is correct.

Please help me solve this for 15 points! <br><br>-x2 + 4x - 54 = 0​
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

x1 =2-5i*sqrt(2)

x2 =2+5i*sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-x^2 +4x-54=0 (quadratic equation)

a=-1, b=4, c=-54

x1=(-b+sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

x1=(-4+sqrt(4^2 - 4*(-1)(-54))/2*(-1)

x1=(-4+sqrt(16-216))/(-2)

x1 =(-4+sqrt(-200))/(-2)

x1 =(-4+sqrt(200i^2))/(-2) i^2=-1

x1 =(-4+sqrt(100*2*i^2))/(-2)

x1 =(-4+10i*sqrt(2))/(-2)

x1 =2-5i*sqrt(2)

x2 =(-b-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

x2 =(-4-10i*sqrt(2))/(-2)

x2 =2+5i*sqrt(2)
