(-4x^2)(-2x^-2)

-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

+8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you explain?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yep +8 I didn't see that one negative sign.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 and x^-2 cancel out because they are the reciprocals. So, you have -4 and -2 let. When you multiply them, you get +8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the x's cancel out as well?
