Can you square a negative number

Mathematics
2 answers:
WINSTONCH [101]3 years ago

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!

Yes, you can square a negative, however it can only give you a positive answer

however, you cannot root a negative number (if that was what you wanted)


hope this helps

How to calculate standard deviation given mean and sample size?
ad-work [718]
In addition to mean and sample size you will need the individual scores.

The formula for standard deviation is:

S^2 = E(X-M)^2/N-1

Here's an example: 
Data set: 4,4,3,1
Mean: 3
Sample size: 4

First, put the individual scores one after the other and subtract the mean from it.
4 - 3 = 1
4 - 3 = 1
3 - 3 = 0
1 - 3 = -2

Second, square the answers you got from step 1. 
1^2 = 1
1^2 = 1
0^2 = 0
-2^2 = 4
Third, plug the values from step 2 into the formula. 

S^2 = (1+1+0+4)/(4-1) = 6/3 = 2

Standard deviation = 2

Which of the following systems has an infinite number of solutions?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

C. x+y = 1 and -x-y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that if a system of equations has an infinite number of solutions, then the resulting equation from using the first step of the elimination method would have no variables and would be true.  

1) Let's try canceling out the equations in option C, x+y =-1 and -x-y =-1. Add the two equations together. (Work shown in attached picture.)

2) All of the terms cancel out with each other, leaving only a true statement of 0 = 0. Thus, option C is the answer.

A gardener wishes to plant plants in such a way that each row contains as many plants as the number of rows. He has 2624 plants.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

we search for a square number so that rows*plantsInARow gives us the number

The number should be around 50², guessed

50² = 2500 (to low)

51² = 2601 (still to low)

52² = 2704 (bingo)

now to get from 2624 to 2704 plants he needs 80 more. That is the least number.

He could also go to plant 60² plants an than need slot more.

(would really appreciate the brainliest)
