Emma is always. When solving, you use the PEMDAS method going from left to right.
Your equation would be something like " -2 * -2 * 4"
Because you would start with (-2 * -2) = 4 and then move to 4 * 4 = 16
If your equation were something like " -2 * 3 * -2"
You would do -2 * 3 = -6 and then move to -6 * -2 = 12
Remember "Two negatives = a positive"
0.25 or 1/4 as a fraction
C
Step-by-step explanation:
This has a U like shape so it a parabola.
Parabola correlate with quadratic functions

Since it Going down, the answer is C -x^2.
