OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

Simplify the expression (-3)4

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

A.81 B.-81 C.-12 D.12

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so the problem is \[(-3)^4\]

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

write it out

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

if it is, it means \[(-3)^4 = -3 \times -3 \times -3 \times -3\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

now will the answer be positive or negative..?

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

wait no the problem is just (-3)4 not the four on the top

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok... (-3)4 really means \[(-3)4 = (-3) \times 4\]

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

what is (-7)5 in expanded form this time its the 5 at the top :)

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

@campbell_st

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so the problem is \[(-7)^5\]

OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):

OpenStudy (campbell_st):
