Answer:
a positive even number.
Step-by-step explanation:
I suggest plugging in random positive even numbers and finding a pattern. (-12)^2 = 144. (-12)^ 4= 20,736. this is because two negatives, when multiplied, turn to a positive. the n is how many times negative 12 is multiplied with itself
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-4)^2 = x^2 -4x -4x + (-4)*(-4)
= x^2-8x+16 as required
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 2 from both sides.
4x-2 = 4
Add 2 to both sides.
4x = 6
x = 1.5

Answer:
y = -x +5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving the given equation for y, we have ...
y = x +4
The slope of this line is the coefficient of x: 1. The slope of the perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/1 = -1. The y-intercept of the perpendicular line can be found from ...
b = y -mx = 8 -(-1)(-3) = 5
The perpendicular line has equation ...
y = -x +5
Subtract 12x from 84x = 72x
