You are correct

SmokeyBrown · Answer

Yup, just like Chloeisdum said, you got it!

The other options use math as a parameter for various functions, but only the second option "from math import *" would give your code access to Python's math module

SmokeyBrown · Answer

Like your instructor has probably explained, modules are kind of like tool kits that we can access to make writing code easier. Modules (sometimes called "libraries") give you access to classes and functions that can do specialized things such as special calculations or drawing or many other things.

To access these modules, you have to use the "import" instruction, just like in the answer choice. You can take a specific tool from the toolbox, like
from math import pow()

or you can get access to the entire toolbox using the *, which just imports everything, as seen in the answer choice

Yeah, thank you

Nice, good work figuring that out :)
