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.

Plz help I am giving away 20 points!!!!!!!!
vova2212 [387]

Okay, so on number one I have no idea. I keep getting 20 because 14 - (-3)2 = 14- (-6) which is really 14 + 6=20.

Number 2 is r+15=61

Number 3 I didn't get any of those answers because you have to solve what is in the parenthesis first so3*5= 15+1=16 then you multiply that by two giving you 16*2=32 and 42-32=10

Find an equation of the line described (3,7) (0,0)
Colt1911 [192]
The formula of the line is
y=mx + b
The likes goes through the point (0,0)
that means that y-int = 0, b=0
y=mx
So we need to find only slope.

m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =  \frac{7-0}{3-0} = \frac{7}{3} 



So, y= \frac{7}{3} x
