Before we choose all the expression that is equal to -9, we must understand that the modulus of a value can return both its positive and negative value. For example, Modulus of b can either be +b or -b i.e |b| = +b or -b

Hence the following expression are all equal ro -9

a) |−9| is equivalent to -9 because the absolute value of -9 i.e |−9| can return both -9 and 9

b) −|−9| is also equivalent to -9. The modulus of -9 is also equal to 9, hence negating 9 will give us -9. This shows that −|−9| = −|9| = −9

c) −|9| is also equivalent to -9. This has been established in b above.

Select the correct product. (y + z)3 y3 + z3 y3 + 3y2z + 3yz2 + z3 3y + 3z y3z3

zhenek [66]

(y + z)³ ( i believe you were trying to do the expression to the power of 3)

(y + z)³ = (y + z)(y + z)(y + z)

Use the FOIL method:
(y + z)(y + z) = y² + yz + yz + z²
Simplify
y² + 2yz + z²

plug in the answer gotten back into the expression

(y² + 2yz + z²)(y + z)

FOIL again, distribute each number to the other.

y²(y) = y³
y(2yz) = 2y²z
y(z²) = yz²
y²(z) = y²z
2yz(z) = 2yz²
z(z²) = z³

2y²z + 2yz² + y³ + z³ + y²z + yz²

Simplify: add all like variables

2y²z + y²z = 3y²z
2yz² + yz² = 3yz²

3y²z + 3yz² + y³ + z³ is your answer, or y^3 + 3y^2z + 3yz^2 + z^3

hope this helps
