<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is A. positive.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
When an exponent or a power is an even number and the base is a negative number, the value is always positive.
Suppose we have a negative base 
and a power which is even, lets say, 
so what we get is a positive value.
Therefore, a negative base with even power is always a positive value.
Answer:
x
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x²(x – 5) + x(2x² – 10x) + x
The simplest for of the above equation can be obtained as follow:
-2x²(x – 5) + x(2x² – 10x) + x
Rearrange
x(2x² – 10x) – 2x²(x – 5) + x
Factorise
x.2x(x – 5) – 2x²(x – 5) + x
2x²(x – 5) – 2x²(x – 5) + x
Carry out the minus (–) operation
=> x
Therefore, the simplest form of expressing -2x2(x – 5) + x(2x2 – 10x) + x is x.
Answer:
1. 19C8 = 75582
2. 19P8= 3047466240
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the number of ways to get 8 sticks from 19. At first, you have 19 choices, then 18, then 17, all the way to 12. Giving you 19*18*17*...*13*12, or 19!/11!.
Combination:
When order doesn't matter, you have to divide 19!/11! by the number of ways to order 8 sides, or 19!/11!/8!=19C8=75582
Permutation:
When order doesn't matter, you don't have to divide 19!/11! by the number of ways to order 8 sides, since you count each of these, and 19!/11!=19P8=3047466240.
The cube root of 343 is 7.
One side has an area of 7*7 = 49 square cm
There are 6 sides to a cube
6 * 49 is the surface area = 294
