Question

Hey, Could any of you provide me a step by step explanation as to how you get to the answer?

(The step by step explanation is what I need most but please don't forget the answer)!

Answer 1

Explanation:

First start by finding the values of the numbers being multiplied together.

5^-2 = 25

This equals a positive 25 because when ever you multiply a negative by a negative it always equals a positive number. -5 x -5 = 25

`\sqrt[3]{8}` = 2

This is asking what x what x what equals eight. Remembering that the square root of 4 is 2. We can determine that since 4 x 2 = 8 the cube root of 8 is 2.

2 x 2 x 2 = 8 and 8 divided by 2 divided by 2 = 2

So now solve the equation we have now. 25 x 2 =?

25 x 2 = 50

And 50 is our answer.
