5x^2 = 25x (-5X)^2 =25 (Assuming x is positive number. No. It is because when -5x is squared, the number with negative sign are multiplied by itself, which means that negative number multiplied by negative number must give a positive number, and positive number multiplied by positive number must also give a positive number, thus, the two numbers are of the same value. But for some cases, x can also be a negative number so it could be the other way round from what Jennifer said in which 5x^2 is bigger. So Jennifer is wrong.
No. x can be any number and it will still be equal. If it is a negative number, it would change the first expression to negative before it is squared but after its squared it becomes positive. If it is a positive number the second expression would be negative before it is squared but after its squared it also becomes positive.
No.I do not agree. If x is 2 then 5x^2 is equal to 100 but (-5x)^2 is equal to 100. This is because x in both equations is the same whether it is positive or negative.
No, - x -=+ So that imagine the x is gone so the one that is 5x = -5x and -5x = 5x
ReplyDeleteNo. X can be a negative number so it is not always the case where 5x^2 is larger.

ReplyDeleteNo, if x has a negative value, (-5x)^2 can be of greater value than 5x^2.
ReplyDelete5x^2 = 25x
ReplyDelete(-5X)^2 =25

Yes, she is correct. 1st eg.5(2)^2=20. (-5(2))^2=100
ReplyDelete2nd eg. 5(-2)^2=5(4)=20 (-5(-2))^2=100
No, I do not agree. That is because if X is a negative number so 5X^2 will become a negative and then it will be a smaller number than the other one.
ReplyDeleteNo. X can be a negative number. Even if its not a negative number, assuming that both x's are the same, you can remove it.
ReplyDelete5 to the power of two is EQUAL to the -5 to the power of two.
No as X could be a negative number.5X^2 will become a negative and then it would be smaller than the other one.
ReplyDeleteNo it will always be the same because -5^2 is equal to 5^2
ReplyDeleteNo. x can be any number and it will still be equal.
ReplyDeleteIf it is a negative number, it would change the first expression to negative before it is squared but after its squared it becomes positive.
If it is a positive number the second expression would be negative before it is squared but after its squared it also becomes positive.
No. they are both 25x^2 when simplified
ReplyDeleteNo, as negative times negative is equals positive, so it should be equal.
ReplyDeleteNo X can be a negative number so 5x^2 would be come negative number thus, smaller than (-5x^2)

ReplyDeleteNo, both of the above equations are equal.
ReplyDeleteDawn
ReplyDeleteNo.
Lets take the first example as x = 10.
(5x)^2= 2500
(-5x)^2=2500.They are equal, thus "(5x)^2" is not smaller than "(-5x)^2".
The second example, lets take x=15
(5x)^2=1125
(-5x)^2=5625
In this case, (5x)^2 is indeed smaller than (-5)^2
No, x could be a negative number and (assuming x is -1)5x^2 would be equal to (-5x)^2.
ReplyDeleteAssuming that x is 2.
ReplyDelete[(5)(2)]^2 = 100
[(-5)(2)]^2 = 100
Assuming that x is -2.
[(5)(-2)]^2 = 100
[(-5)(-2)]^2 = 100
I do not agree. [(5)(2)]^2 and [(-5)(2)]^2 have the same value, just like [(5)(-2)]^2 and [(-5)(-2)]^2.
5x^2 is not always the same as (-5x)2.
Yes, as if x=2, 5(x^2) is actually 5x4=20 but for the other (-5x)^2, it will give 100 which is more than the 5x^2
ReplyDeleteNo she is wrong as -*- is positive as well as +*+.
ReplyDeleteNot if "x" is a negative no.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't. Both sum 's answer is the same.
