You can rewrite the multiplication using properties of the exponents. We have that if the base is the same, the exponents are added. For this case, we have: Base = (- 4) Exponent = 1 Applying properties of exponents: (-4) (- 4) = ((- 4) ^ 1) ((- 4) ^ 1) = (- 4) ^ (1 + 1) = (- 4) ^ 2 answer: the expression is the same as (-4) ^ 2
It's multiplication. Simply multiply 0.3 by 4. How multiplying dedcimals works is that we forgett the decimal until later. So, first we have 3 times 4. What's that? 12. And how many numbers did we have after the decimal? One. So, we hop over one decimal space to receave the answer 1.2. I hope I helped!!!
