It depends on what number y and x are. If y is the number, say...2 than you would multiply 2 to the third power like this: 2x2x2=8 and the x would be 9: 9x-9=-81 multiply 8 and 81 and that will be your answer. Hope that helps in Math Class! :0)
It is always negative when raised to an odd power and always positive when raised to an even power -2 to the third power = -2 x -2 x -2 = -8 -2 to the fourth power = -2 x -2 x -2 x -2 = +16
= Z X and Y are examples. 2 to the power of X multiplied by 2 to the power 2 equals 16 What is X? X=2 2 to the power of 2 (2x2) multiplied (X) by 2 to the power of 2 (2x2) (2x2)4 X (2x2)4 = 4X4 = 16
Negative 12 to the power of 2 is -144
The base is the large number, and is the number being multiplied; the exponent is the smaller number on the upper right, which says how many times the base is multiplied. 23 says that 2 is multiplied 3 times, so: 2 X 2 X 2. In this case, the base is 2, and the exponent is 3.
Because if a negative is multiplied by another negative it will always be positive. But, if a positive is multiplied or divided by a negative it will always be negative. If the two signs are the same and or being multiplied or divided they will be positive. If the two signs are different and or being multiplied or divided will be negative. True, but the question is not about multiplication, but addition. i like to think of it like this on a number line there are positives and negatives -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 if you added 2 to zero you move up to the number positive 2 then move down two number, which represents subtracting two or negative two. you should end up on zero
a3*a-2 = a(3-2) = a
(2)-1/3 x (4)-1/3 = (2 x 4)-1/3 = (8)-1/3 = 1/81/3 = 1/2
a, a^3*a^-2 is a^3+-2 which equals just a
2^-3 = .125.125 * 2 = .25So the answer is: .25
A negative multiplied by a negative gives a positive, so the answer is 4.
243 - 32 = 211
It means multiplied by itself three times. For example, two to the third power (23) is 2 x 2 x 2, which equals 8.
3 to the third power (3^3) is equal to 27. 4 to the third power (4^3) is equal to 64. Combining the 2 answers (27*64) we have 1968.
It is always negative when raised to an odd power and always positive when raised to an even power -2 to the third power = -2 x -2 x -2 = -8 -2 to the fourth power = -2 x -2 x -2 x -2 = +16
When it is multiplied by a negative number. ■
-2 to the power of two is the same as -2x-2 Two negative numbers multiplied gives you a positive number. So, -2x-2=4 -2 to the power of 2=4
-4
