Question

Please help. I don’t understand this math problem.

Answer 1

(7) The value of -j is 9.

(8) The value of -(-j) is -9.

(9) The value of (-j)(-j) is 81.

Step-by-step explanation :

Part 7:

Given algebraic expression is:

j = -9

Now we have to determine the value of (-j).

-j = - (-9) = 9

The value of -j is 9.

Part 8:

Given algebraic expression is:

j = -9

Now we have to determine the value of -(-j).

- (-j) = - [-(-9)] = -9

The value of -(-j) is -9.

Part 9:

Given algebraic expression is:

j = -9

Now we have to determine the value of (-j)(-j).

(-j)(-j) = [- (-9)] × [- (-9)] = 9 × 9 = 81

The value of (-j)(-j) is 81.
