if we have a number like say hmm 4, and we say hmmm √4 is ±2, it simply means, that if we multiply that number twice by itself, we get what's inside the root, we get the 4, so (+2)(+2) = 4, and (-2)(-2) = 4, recall that <u>minus times minus = plus</u>.

so, any when we're referring to even roots like \bf \sqrt[2]{~~},\sqrt[4]{~~},\sqrt[6]{~~}...., the positive number, that can multiply itself an even amount of times, will produce a valid value, BUT the negative number that multiply itself an even amount of times, will also produce a valid value.

now, that's is not true for odd roots like \bf \sqrt[3]{~~},\sqrt[5]{~~},\sqrt[7]{~~}...., because the multiplication of the negative number will not produce a valid value, let's put two examples on that.


\bf \sqrt[3]{27}\implies \sqrt[3]{3^3}\implies 3\qquad because\qquad (3)(3)(3)=27&#10;\\\\\\&#10;however\qquad (-3)(-3)(-3)\ne 27~\hspace{8em}(-3)(-3)(-3)=-27&#10;\\\\[-0.35em]&#10;\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\&#10;\sqrt[3]{-125}\implies \sqrt[3]{-5^3}\implies -5\qquad because\qquad (-5)(-5)(-5)=-125&#10;\\\\\\&#10;however\qquad (5)(5)(5)\ne -125~\hspace{10em}(5)(5)(5)=125


so, when the root is an odd root, you will always get only one number that will produce the radicand.

Graph the line that goes through the point (-6,-2) with slope of 1
vekshin1

Answer:

<h2>Check out the image.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the equation of the straight line is y = mx + c; where m is the slope of the equation and c is the constant.

The line has the slope 1.

Hence, the equation becomes y = x + c.

Since, the line passes through (-6, -2), -2 = -6 + c or, c = 4.

Hence, the equation of the straight line becomes y = x + 4.

Putting x = 0, we get, y = 4.

The line passes through (0, 4).

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Width of the large rectangle = a

Length of the large rectangle = (2 + 3 + 4)

Therefore:

Area of the large rectangle = a(2 + 3 + 4)

The perimeter of a square is 4 times the length of one side of the square. Which graph represents this situation? *
Arisa [49]

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph B must be incorrect as this is a directly proportional relationship. Likewise, graph C shows an inversely proportional relationship.

Between graph A and D, only graph A passes through the origin, which is true because if length is zero, perimeter is zero.

Hence the answer is Graph A.
