Question

How do you figure out
X^-4x+y^+8y=-4

Answer 1

Is the problem written correctly?

X^ -4x + y^ +8y = - 4

Are the exponents for x^ and y^ missing?

Answer 2

No the question is

^ this is means to the second power or square

X square - 4x + y square +8y=-4

Answer 3

Oooooh. For future reference, you're supposed to put the exponent next to the ^

If you click right underneath the text reply box, there's an Equation button that would make it a lot clearer. Like so: \[x ^{2}-4x+y ^{2}+8y=-4\]
