√250 = √(25 * 10) = √(5^2 * 10) = √(5^2) * √10
… = 5 √10
=> <em>a</em> = 5

√(-300) = √(-1 * 3 * 100) = √(-1 * 3 * 10^2) = √(-1) * √3 * √(10^2) = <em>i</em> * √3 * 10
… = 10<em>i</em> √3
=> -<em>a</em> = 10 and <em>b</em> = 3 => <em>a</em> = -10 and <em>b</em> = 3
=> <em>a</em> - <em>b</em> = -10 - 3 = -13
<span>To determine how many different orders in which you could line them up, you would need to perform a simple math problem. You would multiply 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1. This multiplication would give you 40320 different orders. You would multiply 8! because there are 8 different cards, and 8 different places in which they can be put in the order.</span>
I think the 3 is an exponent so we can write the expression as
18 * 4y^3
= 72y^3
Rotating it around what point? Do you have a picture of your homework?
