Answer:

you cant have a negitive square

Step-by-step explanation:

Any number times itself is a positive number (or zero), so you can't ever get to a negative number by squaring. Since square roots undo squaring, negative numbers can't have square roots.

Answer:

Yes, you can square a negative number. In fact, any number at all can be squared, even numbers like pi and 0. This is because to square a number just means to multiply it by itself. For example, (-2) squared is (-2) (-2) = 4. Note that this is positive because when you multiply two negative numbers you get a positive result.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The answer would be 31,737 elks.

Step-by-step explanation:

You would solve this by multiplying 1.08 by the power of 6 which equals 1.586874322944. You would then multiply this number by 20,000 which equals 31,737.4865 but since you can’t have .4865 of an elk the answer is just 31,737.

Which graph represents the function y = 4?

Temka [501]

Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a constant function, i.e. the value for y doesn't depend on x. So, every x value will lead to the same y value, in this case 4.

This implies that the graph is a horizontal line, composed by all points like (x,4), where x can be any value and 4 is fixes as the y coordinate.
