pls help will give brainliest Rena used the steps below to evaluate the expression (StartFraction (x Superscript negative 3 Base

line) (y Superscript negative 2 Baseline) Over 2 (x Superscript 4 Baseline) (y superscript negative 4 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript negative 3, when x = negative 1 and y = 2. Step 1: Substitute x = negative 1 and y = 2 into the expression. (StartFraction (negative 1) Superscript negative 3 Baseline (2) Superscript negative 2 Baseline Over 2 (negative 1) Superscript 4 Baseline (2) superscript negative 4 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript negative 3 Step 2: Simplify the parentheses. (StartFraction (2) Superscript 4 Baseline Over 2 (negative 1) Superscript 4 Baseline (negative 1) cubed (2) squared EndFraction) Superscript negative 3 Baseline = (StartFraction (2) squared Over 2 (negative 1) Superscript 7 Baseline EndFraction) Superscript negative 3 Step 3: Evaluate the power to a power. StartFraction (2) Superscript negative 6 Baseline Over 2 Superscript negative 3 Baseline (negative 1) Superscript negative 21 baseline EndFraction Step 4: Use reciprocals and find the value. StartFraction 1 Over 2 cubed (2) Superscript 6 Baseline (negative 1) Superscript 21 Baseline EndFraction = StartFraction 1 Over 8 times 64 times (negative 1) EndFraction = Negative StartFraction 1 Over 512 EndFraction In which step did Rena make the first error? Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

Answer:

  First "order of operations" mistake: step 2

  First arithmetic mistake: step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

  \left(\dfrac{x^{-3}y^{-2}}{2x^4y^{-4}}\right)^{-3}

for x = -1 and y = 2.

Her work seems to be ...

<u>Step 1</u>

  \text{Substitute $x=-1$ and $y=2$ into the expression}\\\\\left(\dfrac{(-1)^{-3}2^{-2}}{2(-1)^42^{-4}}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{no error}

<u>Step 2</u>

  \text{Simplify the parentheses}\\\\\left(\dfrac{2^4}{2(-1)^4(-1)^32^2}\right)^{-3}=\left(\dfrac{2^2}{2(-1)^7}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{order of operations error}

<u>Step 3</u>

  \text{Evaluate the power to a power}\\\\\dfrac{2^{-6}}{2^{-3}(-1)^{21}}\qquad\text{no error}

<u>Step 4</u>

  \text{Use reciprocals and find the value}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^32^6(-1)^{21}}=\dfrac{1}{8\cdot 64\cdot (-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{512}\qquad\text{error: $2^3$ is used instead of $2^{-3}$}

_____

So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

  \left(\dfrac{-\dfrac{1}{4}}{2(1)\dfrac{1}{16}}\right)^{-3}=(-2)^{-3}\qquad\text{proper Step 2}

__

We expect your answer is supposed to be Step 4.

Answer:

12. Since the pool is square, all the sides are equal. The area is length times height, so that means it would be 12 times 12, which is 144. The answer is 12 feet.
