What is the difference between -2^2 and (-2)^2

1. 0.3 •4 is the same as 4 groups of 0.32. 7•0.8 is the same as 7 groups of 0.83. it increases by 0.5 every time, so 0.5x4 it increases by 0.9 every time, so 0.9x5. 0.9•12=10.86. 0.47•5=2.35i can finish the next ones in a separate post

To find the x-intercept, make  y  equal to zero, and solve for  x. to find the y-intercept, make  x  equal to zero, and solve for  y.explanation: y=4x−2x-intercept0=4x−2add  2  to both sides of the equation.2=4xdivide both sides by  4.24=xsimplify.12=xswitch sides.x=12y-intercepty=4(0)−2y=−2
