distribut first
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the 2 is a power btw.
OpenStudy (goldphenoix):
Or you can just replace.
7 + [-3(0)^2]
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
Indeed. x being 0 leaves everything in the parenthesis being equivalent to 0 so now we have:
7 + (0)
Which is obviously just 7.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a positve times a negitive is a positive right?

No, positive times positive is negative, and negative times negative is positive. It gets confusing so don't feel bad :3
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
positive times negative is negative sorry
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
Typo >.>

Chibi is right. Anyway, let me explain in more detail.
[-3(0)^2]
You do exponent first, since order of operation say so.
0^2 can be written as 0 * 0. 0 * 0 = 0. (That's a lot of zero')
Now you have [-3*0]. And we all know that anything multiply by zero is zero.
So now you have 7 + [0].
7 + 0 is 7.
