Question

anonymous · Answer

$$(-x ^{3}) (-x)$$

anonymous · Answer

Multiply you get x^4

anonymous · Answer

how?

anonymous · Answer

Parenthesis is honestly another method of multiplying. Such as (4)(2) = 4*2. Through that logic it can be applied to variables.

anonymous · Answer

so the answer is $$x ^{4}$$

anonymous · Answer

The most basic way i can rewrite your problem would be (-1)*(x^3)*(-1)*(x)

anonymous · Answer

Yes

anonymous · Answer

Two negatives yield a positive solution

anonymous · Answer

are you positive??? because this is for a test retake and i need to make sure i do these right

anonymous · Answer

When multiplying by the same base you can add it to the exponent. 2*2*2*2 = 2^4 the same could be applied to your problem. And I'm sure the answer is x^4

anonymous · Answer

I don't know where u get the 2 or the 4 because there are no numbers in this problem. just x's.

anonymous · Answer

and the exponent 3

anonymous · Answer

I'm using the numbers as an example. x^3 = x*x*x

anonymous · Answer

Your problem is basically (-1)*(-1)*x*x*x*x = x^4
