-3^2= -(3)^2
The exponent of 2 only applies to the number 3. -(3)^2 should equal -9. This is true because according to the order of operations, exponents should be evaluated before multiplication. The negative sign here represents -1* 3^2.
If you want to find -3 to the power of 2 it must be written (-3)^2.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Look what happens if you do the multiplication of P(x):
P(x) = x^3 - 9x
This is a variation of the basic cubing function y = x^3.
The graph begins in QIII and ends in QI; in other words, if you go left the graph drops; if you go right, the graph rises (without limit, in both cases).
The answers to the first two systems of equations
(x^2-5)(3x-1)
Here's how I got this answer:
I found the GCF for each part of the polynomial.
3x^3 and -15x both contain 3x, and -x^2 and 5 share -1.
I then can divide the polynomial by 3x-1, and I get x^2-5
(Okay, that's not what I really did, but I can solve these on sight and don't remember the proper way to do it.)
1 hour = $8.00
48 hours = $8 x 48
48 hours = $384
