PleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeSimplify -2^3

Answer:

Therefore,

$(-2)^{3}=-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify

-2^3

$(-2)^{3}$

It is read as negative 2 raised to the power three,

also it is the cube of negative 2

we know that $a^{3}$ given as

$a^{3}=a\times a\times a$

so for negative a i.e -a

$(-a)^{3}=-a\times -a\times -a$

substituting a = 2 we get

$(-2)^{3}=-2\times -2\times -2$

negative sign multiplied by odd number of times then the sign remains negative.

Therefore,

$(-2)^{3}=-8$

Can you guys help me? :-(

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

$\frac{9}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the LCD because like last time, you cannot add or subtract fractions with different denominators.

LCD = 10

Since the second fractions stayed at the same denominator, you will only have to multiply the first fraction.

$\frac{2 * 2}{5 * 2}$

$\frac{4}{10}$

$\frac{4 + 5}{10}$

$= \frac{9}{10}$
