Question

If X= -6 and y=4 what is x² + y²​

Answer 1

x = 6 x 6

y = 4 x 4

Explanation:

This is because...

x^2 means "x cubed", meaning multiply it by itself. Same for y.

Now the math...

6 x 6 = 36

4 x 4 = 16

Math 2

Without rounding, we find the true sum of 36 + 16 = 52.

Therefore,

x^2 + y^2 = 52

Answer 2

52

Explanation:

(-6)x(-6)=36

(4)x(4)=16

36+16=52
