In -2^2 since the negative sign is not in parentheses you would solve it as 2×2=4 and then have the negative sign so it would be -4. With the parentheses you are saying that the term you are squaring is (-2) and two negatives make a positive so it would be (-2)×(-2)= 4.

Someone pls help me I'm really struggling and the assignment is almost due
Grace [21]

Answer:

x<3 and x≥5

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the circles and what is shaded on the number line.  The first circle is at x=3, and it's an open circle.  An open circle means that the interval does not include that point.  The arrow is going to the left, meaning x < 3.

The next circle is at x=5.  It is a closed circle, so the interval does include that point (so draw a bar under the less than/greater than sign).  Next, notice how the arrow is pointing to the right.  That means that the blue area is at x=5 and greater than x=5, so x≥5.
