Each X and Y in the equations don't have a number in front of them so they are all considered 1.
D = 1*(-1) - 1*(-1) = -1 -1 = -2
The answer is -2
Hey there!
Question #1.
2^6 + (2^3)^3
= 64 + (8)^3
= 64 + 8^3
= 64 + 512
= 576
Therefore, the answer should be:
Option A. 576
Question #2.
11^-4 * 11^8
= 1/14,641 * 214,358,881
= 14,641
