Could you explain why the answer 125 was supposed to be negative while my answer 81 was correct?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Realize what (-5)^3 means

(-5)(-5)(-5)

25(-5)

-125

meanwhile

(-9)^2 is

(-9)(-9)

81

Basically a negative times a negative is always positive, but when a negative number is cubed (or raised to any odd exponent for that matter) the product will be negative.

(2×100)+(9×10)+(6×1)+(3×1/10)+(8×1/100)= <br> In standard form
Sidana [21]
We know that standard form = the number that is not expanded.
This equation is expanded so standard form =

2*100=200
9*10=90
6*1=6
3*1/10= 0.3
8*1/100=0.08

200+90=290
290+6=296
296+0.3=296.3
296.3+0.08=296.38

Your answer is 296.38
Hope this helped!

The width of a rectangle is 1 units less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 72 units. What is the width, in units, of
nalin [4]

A = l × w. Substitute 72 into A and fill in the rest of the equation.

w = l - 1. Plug l - 1 into w

72 = l × (l - 1). Multiply l by (l - 1)

72 = l^2 - l. Subtract 72 from each side.

0 = l^2 - l - 72. Factor.

0 = (l + 8) (l - 9). Set each term equal to zero.

(l + 8) = 0. Subtract 8 from each side.

l = -8. Length cant be a negative number so let's try the other term.

(l - 9) = 0. Add 9 to each side.

l = 9. The length is 9.

Earlier we stated that the width is one less than the length, therefore, the width is 9 - 1 = 8.

The width is 8 units.
