Question

if i have y=-x squared, is it -(x)(x) or (-x)(-x)?

Answer 1

(-x)(-x)

Answer 2

If it's \[y=-x^2\] then it is y=-(x)(x)

If it's \[y=(-x)^2\] then it is y=(-x)(-x)

Answer 3

thank you, so im finding the x and y coordinates of y=-x squared. and i wasn't sure

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

so if i make x a 3 then y would be -9, right?

Answer 6

Correct :)

Answer 7

thanks a bunch

Answer 8

so in y=-x squared, if i plug in -1 for x, then y is -1?

Answer 9

yeah

Answer 10

yay

Answer 11

Does the equation appear as y = - x² ?

Answer 12

as opposed to y = ( - x ) ² ?

Answer 13

yeah that is how it appears as in y = ( - x ) ²
