To write the value 34 - (-4)2 in standard form, we need to perform the operations within the parentheses and evaluate them first.
(-4)2 means multiplying -4 by itself, which gives us -4 * -4 = 16.
Therefore, the expression becomes:
34 - 16
Next, we subtract 16 from 34:
34 - 16 = 18
Hence, the value 34 - (-4)2 in standard form is 18.
