(-1.15)x3.2=
-3.68
Alright so I got -3.68 by multiplying -1.15x3.2. We get a negative number since the first number is negative.
Answer:
10^4
Step-by-step explanation:
10×10×10×10=10,000, which is given number.
A good place to start is to set
to y. That would mean we are looking for
to be an integer. Clearly,
, because if y were greater the part under the radical would be a negative, making the radical an imaginary number, not an integer. Also note that since
is a radical, it only outputs values from
, which means y is on the closed interval:
.
With that, we don't really have to consider y anymore, since we know the interval that
is on.
Now, we don't even have to find the x values. Note that only 11 perfect squares lie on the interval
, which means there are at most 11 numbers that x can be which make the radical an integer. All of the perfect squares are easily constructed. We can say that if k is an arbitrary integer between 0 and 11 then:

Which is strictly positive so we know for sure that all 11 numbers on the closed interval will yield a valid x that makes the radical an integer.
p=-42
move 98 to the right side of the equal sign which becomes -98
p=56-98
do the math
p=-42
