Answer:

This is not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

The only way you get this is if you plug it into the calculator without placing parenthesis around -4

For example:

-4^2 = -16 while (-4)^2= 16

When doing math it is common knowledge that when two negative numbers are multiplied together the negative sign will cancel out and turn into a positive product.

Also -4*-4 is the same as -4^2 just written differently

What is the y intercept to the question below<br><br> y=8x+7 (20 points)
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

7 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the slope-intercept form:

y = slope(x) + y-intercept (or y = mx + b)

b is the y-intercept.

In this case, 7 is in the place of b, so 7 is your answer

|×|=×<br>is the absolute value of x always, sometimes, or never x​
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

I’ll give you an example so you can understand:

Let’s say x is 4. So plug 4 into the problem:

|4|=4  →  This is a very true statement, where the absolute value of 4 is equal to 4.

Now, let’s say x is -7. So plug -7 into the problem:

|-7|=-7  →  This is a false statement because it’s saying that the absolute value of -7 is -7 which is very untrue.

So |x|=x only works for positive numbers, but not negative numbers. Therefore, |x|=x is the absolute value of x <u>sometimes.</u>

<u />

Hope this helps and answers your question! :)
