Question

Which statement is true?

A) −3^3 = 3 and 4^1 = 4
B) /-3) = 3 and -14^1 = 4
C) -3/ - 3 and -/- 4 - - 4
D) 1-3^1 – 3 and -4) - -4

Answer 1

The correct statement is A) −3³ = 3 and 4¹ = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement is A) −3³ = 3 and 4¹ = 4.

To solve these equations, follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS). This means that we first work out the exponent, then any multiplication or division, and finally any addition or subtraction.

For the first equation, −3³, we have a negative sign in front of the exponent. This means that we calculate the exponent first (3³ = 27) and then apply the negative sign to the result, giving us −27.

For the second equation, 4¹, we have an exponent of 1. Any number raised to the power of 1 is equal to the number itself, so 4^1 = 4.
