Can you square a negative number

Mathematics

Yes, you can square a negative number; however, the product will be a positive integer as a negative multiplied by a negative will result in a positive.

For example;
(-2) * (-2) = 4.

Edit: Seeing that you meant to square root a negative number-- no, you cannot square root a negative number as you cannot multiply a negative number by a negative number to get a negative product; it will always be positive.

I hope this helps!

A light bulb distributor was given a study from an LED bulb manufacturer showing that LED light bulbs are better for the environment than traditionalbulbs. Is there an incentive for this study to be biased? Why or why not?

<span>Yes, because the LED bulb manufacturer may benefit from the survey results.

If the light bulb distributor will decide get more stock of LED bulb due to the study given by the LED company, then, the LED company will benefit from it.

1st. (2 root 2 + root 3 ) ( 2 root 3 - root 2)
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

1st: 3*root6 + 5

2nd: 35*root2 + 115

3rd: 24*root2 - 20*root6 + 15*root3 - 18

4th: 17*root6 - 38

5th: 13*root10 - 42

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify these expressions we need to use the distributive property:

(a + b) * (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

So simplifying each expression, we have:

1st.

(2 root 2 + root 3 ) ( 2 root 3 - root 2)

= 4*root6 - 2*2 + 2*3 - root6

= 3*root6 - 4 + 9

= 3*root6 + 5

2nd.

(root 5 + 2 root 10) (3 root 5 + root 10)

= 3 * 5 + root50 + 6*root50 + 2*10

= 15 + 5*root2 + 30*root2 + 100

= 35*root2 + 115

3rd.

(4 root 6 - 3 root 3) (2 root 3 - 5)

= 8*root18 - 20*root6 - 6*3 + 15root3

= 24*root2 - 20*root6 + 15*root3 - 18

4rd.

(6 root 3 - 5 root 2 ) (2 root 2 - root 3)

= 12*root6 - 6*3 - 10*2 + 5*root6

= 17*root6 - 18 - 20

= 17*root6 - 38

5th.

(root 10 - 3 ) ( 4 - 3 root 10)

= 4*root10 - 3*10 - 12 + 9*root10

= 13*root10 - 30 - 12

= 13*root10 - 42

Draw a picture first, then use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve. Round
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

your answer would be 9.4

Step-by-step explanation:

you'd have to plug in the numbers in the equation.

8^2 + 5^2 = c^2

64 + 25 = c^2

89 = c^2 then you'd do the square root of 89 which will give you 9.4 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
