Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The "power rule" tells us that to raise a power to a power, just multiply the exponents
so
we have
Applying the "power rule"
This is an EXPONENT.
To do this all we need to do is multiply the base by itself how many times the power says.
(-6)² = (-6) × (-6) = 36
Recall that any negative number times another negative number is positive so that is why this would be positive.
So, (-6)² = 36
Hope I helped ya!!
Using a calculator, you should find that
-2 & 4/5 = -(2 + 4/5) = -(2+0.8) = -2.8
-31/5 = -6.2
So the unknown number is between -6.2 and -2.8
<h3>Possible whole number answers could be: -6, -5, -4, -3, or -2</h3>
If your teacher allows decimal answers, then there are infinitely many possible ways to answer.
