-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:
5 9/14
7 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 4 1/7 + 1 1/2= 4+ 1/7 +1 +1/2 = 5 + 1/7 +1/2 = 5+ 2/14 + 7/14= 5 + 9/14= 5 9/14
b) 4 1/2 ÷ 3/5 = 9/2 ÷ 3/5 = 9/2 *5/3= 3/2*5= 15/2= 7 1/2
Divide 29.15/265 = 0.11 or 11 percent
