Ok, just so long as you know. (sometimes people set their calculator to show only a few digits and don't realize the answer is not accurate.)
OpenStudy (phi):
We are getting -41.6 which is different from what you posted up above. I hope that is a typo.
OpenStudy (phi):
you should practice doing the calculation all on one line in your calculator.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah its a typo and okay
