Yes, that's a shortcut often used for powers of functions.

Please note that for the special case of function to the power minus 1 of x there is a different definition - it is usually taken to mean the inverse function. So, if you want to write the reciprocal of a function, you have to express it in a different way.

How do you express the term 1-csc squared x all over sin x cot x to cos x?

(1 - csc2x)/(sinx*cotx) = -cot2x/sinxcotx = -cotx/sinx = -(cosx/sinx)/sinx = -cosx/sin2x = -cosx/(1-cos2x) = cosx/(cos2x - 1)


Negative 1 squared in parenthesis?

(-1)2=1 all squared numbers turn out positive and 12=1 (-1)2=1 all squared numbers turn out positive and 12=1


How is eleven squared different from parenthesis eleven squared?

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally... PEMDAS P = parenthesis E = Exponent M = Multiply D = Divide A = Add S = Subtract In other words, order of operation as it is know in mathematics. So coming full circle to your question, parenthesis are typically reserved in equations force a portion of a calcuation to be completed before another, i.e. 1+2*3=7, while (1+2)*3=9. In the second equation, parenthesis are inserted to make sure the addtion is completed prior to the multipication. However, in the question you pose the answer would be the same. (11)^x = 11^x All that said, if the parenthesis in question in in a line of software code, most programs will only connect the term immediately before the carrot "^" as being raised to the power. So a program would read 11^x as 1*1^x instead of (11)^x, thus the need for the parenthesis.


Determine exact solution for cosx minus 0.5 equals 0?

X=60 how did you get that? could you show all the steps?


What could be the possible 'one's'digits of square root of 99856?

When you square a number, the final digit is the final digit of the 'one's' number squared. Since the only single digit numbers squared which ends in 6 are 4 and 6, the answer is either 4 or 6 (a calculator tells me it is 6) 0 squared is 0. All numbers ending in 0 when squared will end in 0. 1 squared is 1. All numbers ending in 1 when squared will also end in 1. 2 squared is 4. All numbers ending in 2 when squared will end in 4. 3 squared is 9. All numbers ending in 3 when squared will end in 9. 4 squared is 16. All numbers ending in 4 when squared will end in 6. 5 squared is 25. All numbers ending in 5 when squared will end in 5. 6 squared is 36. All numbers ending in 6 when squared will end in 6. 7 squared is 49. All numbers ending in 7 when squared will end in 9. 8 squared is 64. All numbers ending in 8 when squared will end in 4. 9 squared is 81. All numbers ending in 9 when squared will end in 1. So square numbers can only end with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9.
