You know
Squaring both sides gives
Then raising both sides to any integer power 
gives
That is, any power of 
where the power is a multiple of 4 will always be equal to 1.
So
But perhaps you mean to write 20+1 as the exponent, in which case

Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Squaring a number means to multiply the number by itself.
For example, 3^2 means 3 * 3.
8^2 means 8 * 8.
(-6)^2 means (-6) * (-6).
In each case above, you see that the number that is squared is multiplied by itself.
In this case, (-4.5)^2, squaring the number -4.5, means multiply the number -4.5 by the number -4.5
(-4.5)^2 = (-4.5) * (-4.5)
Now we need to actually multiply -4.5 by -4.5
When you multiply a negative number by a negative number, the result is positive, so the product of -4.5 and -4.5 is a positive number. To find that number, you multiply 4.5 by 4.5
4.5 * 4.5 = 20.25
Therefore, (-4.5)^2 = 20.25
Answer:
B. 4.5c + 4 = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
T = cx + py is the equation you are given.
T = 24 because it is the total amount of money you can spend.
x = 4.5 because each phone case costs 4.50 dollars
p = 2 because you bought 2 pop sockets.
y = 2 because each pop socket costs 2 dollars.
There is no c because you don't know the number of phone cases you bought.
Now, we have to substitute the values into the equation:
24 = 4.5x + 2(2)
24 = 4.5x + 4
4.5x + 4 = 24 <--- This is your answer
Hope this helps!
