Question

To the nearest tenth, what is the value of the expression?

1.2³+(-1.9)4
and no the answer is not -5.9

Answer 1

To calculate the value of the expression 1.23 + (-1.9)4 to the nearest tenth, we calculate each term independently, then add the results, rounding the sum, 14.7601, to 14.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of the expression 1.23 + (-1.9)4 to the nearest tenth,

we need to calculate each term separately and then add the results. 1.23 equals 1.728 when calculated.

The term (-1.9)4 equals 13.0321 because raising a negative number to an even exponent results in a positive number.

We then add 1.728 to 13.0321 to get 14.7601.

Since the question asks for the nearest tenth, we look at the hundredths place which is 6 (more than 5),

so we round up the tenths place to 14.8 as our final answer.
