If -4 * -4 = 16, but -4^2 = -16, how is that possible?

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

Which equation is equivalent to startroot x^2 + 81 EndRoot = x + 10?
Nitella [24]

Answer:given below

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt x^2 +81= x + 10

x^2 + 81 = (x+10)^2

x^2 + 81 = x^2 + 20x + 100

so answer is:  

x^2 + 81 = x^2 +20x + 100

The produce market is having a sale on grapes and oranges. A customer found the following two receipts in her cart as she was wa
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first receipt:

2 pounds of grapes + 4 pounds of oranges = 10.70 which, in an algebraic equation, looks like this:

2g + 4o = 10.70

From the second receipt:

3 pounds of grapes + 2 pounds of oranges = 9.65 which, in an algebraic equation, looks like this:

3g + 2o = 9.65

Putting those together into a system and solving using the elimination method:

2g + 4o = 10.7

3g + 2o = 9.65

I am going to eliminate the oranges first since it's easier to do that. I will multiply the second equation by -2 to get a new system:

2g + 4o = 10.7

-6g - 4o = -19.3

As you can see, the oranges are eliminated because 4o - 4o = 0o. That leaves us with only the grapes:

-4g = -8.6 so

g = 2.15

Grapes cost $2.15 per pound. Now sub that into either one of the original equations to solve for the cost per pound of oranges:

2(2.15) + 4o = 10.7 and

4.3 + 4o = 10.7 and

4o = 6.4 so

o = 1.60

Oranges cost $1.60 per pound. That is choice D from your list.
