Answer:

if you rearrange to complete the square, you get (x^2-4)^2 +4

and seeing as anything squared will always be positive or zero, the lowest possible value for (x^2-4)^2 is 0, when x = 4

and 0 + 4 = 4, which is greater than 0, so positive

(20 x 40) x 14 = ?
fredd [130]

To solve this problem, we must use the order of operations outlined by PEMDAS, which tells us that we should simplify or compute parentheses first, then exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and finally subtraction.

Using this method, we have to perform the multiplication inside the parentheses first.

(20 * 40) * 14

800 * 14

Finally, we must perform the final operation to simplify this expression, which is multiplication.

800 * 14 = 11200

Therefore, your final answer is 11200.

Hope this helps!
