Max points easy math problem

Answer 1

`[-(1023)/(4) ]`

Explanation:

`(x^6-x)/(4y)`

x = -4

y = 4

Replace all the variables with the corresponding values given:

`(-4^6-(-4))/(4(4))`

Now solve,

-4 to the power of 6 is equal to -4096

`(-4096-(-4))/(4(4))`

we see that we are subtracting a negative number, meaning that it'll cancel out and turn into an addition sign. Therefore:

`-4096 + 4`

`-4092`

`(-4092)/(4(4))`

4(4) is equal to 16

`(-4092)/(16)`

When divided, you'll get a mixed fraction of
`-255(3)/(4)`

To turn into an improper fraction, simply multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add the numerator to the result.

`-255 * 4 + 3`

`[-(1023)/(4) ]`

Answer 2

Given:

• x = -4
• y = 4

Substitute the values into the equation:

• x⁶ - x/4y
• => [(-4)⁶] - (-4)/4(4)

Simplify the numerator and the denominator:

• => [(-4) x (-4) x (-4) x (-4) x (-4) x (-4)] + 4/16
• => [(-64) x (-64)] + 4/16
• => [4096] + 4/16
• => 4100/16

Simplify the fraction:

• => 4100/16
• => 1025 x 4/4 x 4
• => 1025/4

Correct option is B.
