Can you square a negative number

2 answers:

4 0

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!

Answer:

Correct answer is option D) Construct the bisector of an angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle bisector of an angle is a line that divides the angle in two equal parts.

A Line BD is called the angle bisector of $\angle ABC$ if

$\angle ABD = \angle CBD$

Please refer to image attached.

As per the question image, if the line PW is joined it will be the angle bisector of $\angle QPR$ .

Steps of construction of angle bisector:

1. Draw the angle QPR.

2. Open compass and make an arc that will cut the two lines on points Q and R respectively as shown in question figure.

3. With the same compass opening, put the compass on Q and make an arc in the area between $\angle QPR$ .

4. Draw an arc keeping the compass on R to cut the previous arc on point W.

Line joining the points P and W is the angle bisector of $\angle QPR$ .

So, Correct answer is option D) Construct the bisector of an angle.

mote1985 [20]

You can either express the decrease that happened in the account savings by integers. To do this you simply subtract 55$ from the initial amount in the account. This is expressed as:
initial amount - 55$

or, you can express the decrease in the form of percentage by calculating how much is 55$ from the total amount. This is expressed as:
(5/initial amount) x 100

PLEASE HELP WITH THE PROBLEM ON THE ATTACHED FILE

prisoha [69]

Answer:

6 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

b - 3a / 9 = a /3

Cross multiply

3(b - 3a) = 9a

Expand

3b - 9a = 9a

Add 9a to both sides

3b = 9a + 9a

3b = 18a

Divide both sides by 3

b = 6a

Ratio of a : b

6 : 1
