When we want to find the distance between two integers using the difference, the best way is to plot them on number line. And then count distance between them.

For example -3 and -1.

When we want to find difference we have:

-3-(-1)=-2

But distance can not be negative.

Now, we need to count distance between numbers -3 and -1 on the number line.

So we have from -3 to -2, one place and from -2 to -1 one place it is 2 places.

So distance is 2.

How are the values of -4^3 and 4^-3 alike and how do they differ?

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

(-4)³ = -64

(4)⁻³ = 1/64

Step-by-step explanation:

$( - 4) {}^{3} = ( - 4) \times ( - 4) \times ( - 4) = - 64 \\$

${4}^{ - 3} = (\frac{1}{4} ) {}^{3} \\$

$({ \frac{1}{4} )}^{3} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{64} \\$

the area of a rectangle is (y^2-8y+15) square inches. which expression represents a possible length? A. (y+5) B. (y-15) C. (y-2)

Pani-rosa [81]

D. (y-3)
I'm assuming that they want you to find the factors of the quadratic expression, which are (y-5)(y-3). (y-5) isn't up there, so (y-3) is the only solution that's really possible.
