Evaluate (-6y) to the second power and -6y to the second power when y=2
I did not know how to put the little two by the numbers.
Thank you!
-6y to the second power is written online as (-6y)^2.
(-6y)(-6y) = 36y^2
Substitute 2 for y and solve.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To evaluate (-6y) squared and (-6y) squared when y is equal to 2, you need to substitute the value of y into the expression and then simplify the result.
For the first expression:
(-6y)^2 = (-6 * 2)^2
= (-12)^2
= 144
So, when y is equal to 2, (-6y)^2 evaluates to 144.
For the second expression:
(-6y)^2 = (-6 * 2)^2
= (-12)^2
= 144
Again, when y is equal to 2, (-6y)^2 evaluates to 144.
Note: The little two after a number is called an exponent or a power. It means that the number should be raised to that power. To type the exponent in a written conversation, you can use the "^" symbol. For example, 2 squared can be written as 2^2.
