Step-by-step explanation:
I am not fully sure what your teacher is aiming for. it friends very much on what you were just discussing in class (which I don't know).
but the first thing coming to mind is a minus sign ("-"). squaring a negative number removed the minus and makes the result equal to squaring the same positive number.
just for the undoing the 1/2 :
that is, because a fraction as exponent specifies in its denominator the root to be calculated for the basic value or expression.
so, 1/2 means square root. and yes, square is the inverse function of a square root, and it "undoes" the square root.
in exponent calculation it just means that for exponent 1 to the power of exponent 2 we simply multiply both exponents. and so, 1/2 × 2 = 1
FYI - the numerator still represents an original "to the power of" operation.
so, e.g. 3/2 would mean put the basis to the power of 3 and then do the square root of that result. or the other way around. these operations are commutative (the sequence does not matter).
Answer:
f(- 2) = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate f(- 2) substitute x = - 2 into f(x) , that is
f(- 2) = 3 - (- 2)² = 3 - 4 = - 1
Answer:
f(6) = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 - 2x
Let x = 6
f(6) = 6^2 - 2(6)
= 36 - 12
= 24
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
AA postulate because we are given 2 of the 3 angles of each triangle. They are both the same in each triangle. Also, we can find the 3rd angle in each triangle. Since both triangles have the exact same angles, they are similar.
