Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression a --b

Given that

a = 2

b = 1

Substitute into the expression

a--b

= 2 --1

= 2 - (-1)

= 2 + 1

= 3

Hence the required value is 3

P varies directly with the square of R. When R is 4, P is 56. Find the value of P when R is 6

Sav [38]

Hey!
The formula of direct variation is y = kx. So we know that p = kr^2
Hint: after it says varies, it's basically the equal sign.
so we can set it up
56 = 4^2k
56=16k
now we want k alone so we have to divide 16 on both sides
k=3.5
We can now solve for p like it asks
p = 3.5*6^2
p=126
There's your answer!
Hope this helps!

After talking with you here are two different options I think you are trying to ask:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are talking about: $(\frac{-12}{3}) ^{3}$

Answer: -62

Explanation:

PEMDAS tells us we need to do the exponent first:

-12³ = (-12)³ = -1728

<em>The parentheses are important so you cube the negative sign as well!</em>

3³ = 27

-1728 / 27 = -62

$(\frac{-12}{3}) ^{3}$ simplified is -62

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are talking about (-1 $\frac{2}{3}$ )³

Answer: - $\frac{125}{27}$

Explanation:

First, let us turn -1 and two thirds into a mixed number:

Ignoring the negative for now, we can 1 times 3 is 3. 3 plus 2 is 5. 5/3 is 5/3. Adding in the negative we get $-\frac{5}{3}$

To cube it we must do:

( $-\frac{5}{3}$ )( $-\frac{5}{3}$ )( $-\frac{5}{3}$ )

3 times 3 (9) times 3 is 27

5 times 5 (25) times 5 is 125

So we have 125/27

For the negative, we have three - - -

Two cancel each other out, and we are left with one (-) so our answer is negative

(-1 $\frac{2}{3}$ )³ simplifed is - $\frac{125}{27}$
