OpenStudy (anonymous):

What seems to be the problem ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the question? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i dnt know how to put in the computer to the second power

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How can I be of assistance.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3{w-6)^2+x}^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there thats the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3w^2 + x^2 + 72 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are those brackets ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you put and yes their bracket and please go step by step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh and i think the answer is -14 bt im nt sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First work with the exponent... ... distribute.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but first comes parentheses

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OKay so??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wat?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

-3{w-6)^2+x}^2 u want to solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait nd it saids that w=5 and x=6 yes i have to solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

-3{5-6)^2+6}^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

sam, do step by step so taht she can understand too.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i think he is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k i need u to show me how to do it nd i did it nd i gt -14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.. Check Cutie, Replace all the variables with the numbers give to you. W = 5 & X = 6 -- > -3 ( 5 - 6 )^2 + 6^2

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Got your mistake sam!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so first i do 5-6 which is -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

\[-3[(5-6)^2+6]^2 \] \[-3[(-1)^2+6]^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG I though that was x^2

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

\[-3[1+6]^2\]\[-3[7]^2\]\[-3(49)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im thinking it's -3( 5 - 6 ) + x^2

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i think u can solve now ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then its-1times -1 which is 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cutie forgive me ... I copied the problem wrong.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

LOL, No problem Sam.. it happens.. =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay well thanks anyways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i was right its -14 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):
