When you square a negative number, the result is positive.
(-4)^2 = (-4)ª(-4) = 16

When you cube a negative number, the result is negative.
(-4)^3 = (-4)•(-4)•(-4) = -64

Negatives pair up and cancel out, so odd exponents always have one negative unpaired, making the result negative.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The length in centimeters is (24-x) centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we are told that the equation linking the length, width and perimeter is as follows;

2(length) + 2(width) = 48

But in this case, we are told that the width is x centimeters

2(length) + 2(x) = 48

2(length) = 48-2x

length = (48-2x)/2

length = 24 - x

That means we need 29 more terms to get to the 32nd term.

29 * 9 = 261

261 + 26 = 287

287 is 29 terms past 26, which is the 3rd term.
