Plug in -3 for b, and 2 for a

2^3 - (-3)^2

Remember to always follow PEMDAS. First, do the exponents

2^3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

(-3)^2 = -3 x -3 = 9

Subtract

8 - 9 = -1

-1 is your answer

hope this helps

Hello!

So let's first start out by solving the left side of the equation:

2 to the third power is 8

The right side now: -3 to the second power is -9

In total: 8- (-9)

So your answer is C) -1

I hope it helps!

How do you find 55% of 140?
yaroslaw [1]
If you type in calculator on google click the buttons and do 140 divided by 55% but the long way to do a percentage problem is to find 1% of the number you start off with and multiply it by the percentage so in this case 1% of 140 would be 1.4 and multiply that by 55 t

PLEASE HELP QUICK
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

A conditional statement is something like:

If P, then Q.

P = hypothesis.

Q = conclusion.

In this case, we have:

"If a polygon is a quadrilateral, then it is a square".

1) The hypothesis is: a polygon is a quadrilateral

2) The conclusion is:  it is a square

3) It is not true, because there are other quadrilaterals that are not squares, for example, the rectangles.

4) The inverse of a conditional statement is (using the same notation than above)

If not P, then not Q.

In this case is:

"If a polygon is not a quadrilateral, then it is not a square"

(this is true)

5) A converse statement is:

If Q, then P

In this case is:

"if it is a square, then the polygon is a quadrilateral"

(Also true)

6) A biconditional statement is written as:

P if and only if Q.

In this case is:

A polygon is a quadrilateral if and only if it is a square.

(This is false)

B. be always the location of the line in the xy coordinate system-that is, where the line hits the y-axis.

  • y-intercept

C. always be the location of the line in the xy coordinate system where the line hits the x-axis

  • x-intercept

D. the initial value of the output variable when the input variable is time. The y-intercept has an x-coordinate of zero, so if the input variable is time, the y-intercept is referred to as the starting value.
