Compare the terms.

Therefore, a = -2 and n = 3. From the law of exponent above, we receive:

<u>E</u><u>x</u><u>p</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>D</u><u>e</u><u>f</u><u>.</u> (For cubic)

Factor (-2)^3 out.

(-2) • (-2) = 4 | Negative × Negative = Positive.

4 • (-2) = -8 | Negative Multiply Positive = Negative.

If either denominator or numerator is in negative, it is the best to write in the middle or between numerator and denominators.
Hence,

The answer is - 1 / 8
Answer:
864 ft^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the base = 16^2 = 256.
Area of the triangular sides = 4 * 1/2 * 16 * 19
Total area = 256 + 608
= 864 ft^2.
1. Use Difference of squares: a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)
(x+k)(x-k)=0
2. Solve for x and k
x=+-k
k=+-x
