Answer:
-3x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
negative three x squared
-8
On the number line if you are at positive 8 and add -8 you will lose 8 and get zero! Hope this helps!
You reverse what you did, so first you go 5 units down which makes the coordinates (9,1) then you move 3 units left which then is (6,1). Then you go 4 units up which lets you end out at (6,5).
Answer:
Here we will use the relationships:



And a number:

is between 0 and 1 if a is positive and larger than 1, and n is negative.
if a is positive and 0 < a < 1, then we need to have n positive such that:
0 < a^n < 1
A) 
This is between zero and 1,
B) 
This is greater than 1, because the exponent is positive.
C) 
Because a is smaller than 1, and the exponent is positive, then the expression is between 0 and 1.
D) 
The exponent is negative (and pair) then the expression is between 0 and 1.
Remember that when the exponent is pair, we always have that:
(-N)^m = (N)^m
So (-7)^-2 = 7^-2
