Evaluate the following expressions, and justify your answers.
whatpower−2(32)

The answer should be -16. Hope this Helps!!

It is clear that 2 x 16 is 32. Due to the fact that -2 x 16 would be negative 32

that isn't what we are looking for. The answer should be -16 because a negative multiply by a negative adds up to a positive..

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
