Well so you have to go with pemdas. p parenthesis, e exponets,m multipication, d division, a add, s subtract. let start with the parenthesis which is 8 plus negative four to the secondpower minus 6. so negative 4 to the second power is equal to positive sixteen because negative time negative is equal to positive. so 8 plus sixteen is 24-6 is 18. negative 12 divided by 3 is negative 4.so negative 4 time 18 is negative 72 plus 2 is negative 70.the answer is negative 70

Using PEMDAS to answer this, the steps are:
Parenthesis first, so (-8+(-4)^2-6)= 2
You now have -12/3 (2)+2
Next is multiplication, so 3(2)= 6
Now you have -12/6 +2
Next is division, so -12/6= -2
Now you have -2+2
Add them together to get the answer of 0
Hope this helped!

Choose all the polynomials that are in standard form?

Allisa [31]

<h3>2 Answers: Choice B and Choice D</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Standard form will always have the largest exponents listed first on the left side. Then as you move to the right, the exponents will decrease. Choice B shows this with the exponents counting down (3,2). Choice D is a similar story with the exponents counting down (9,2,1,0). Think of -6x as -6x^1, and also think of the 10 as 10x^0.

Something like choice A is a non-answer because the term with the largest exponent 3 is buried in the middle, and not at the left side. The exponents are not in decreasing order. Choice C can be ruled out for similar reasons.

Side note: the largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial. This only applies to single variable polynomials.

What is the distance between the points (5.-18) and (8,

romanna [79]

Answer:

$\sqrt{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The horizontal distance from points (5,-18) and (8,-17) is 3 because it is 3 units from 5 to 8. The vertical distance is 1 since it is one unit from -18 to -17. Now we can use the equation $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ where a=3 and b=1 and c is the distance that you are looking for:
