Question

The input for both students is -1. The output, however, differs as student one obtained -9 while student two obtained -5. The difference in output can be attributed to the order of operations used in the function. Despite the difference in output, both students correctly used substitution to evaluate the function for the given input.
Answer
is the answer 1/2, 2, -2, -1/2
Answer
no no which one is it?

Since both students correctly used substitution to evaluate the function for the given input, the difference in output can be attributed to the order of operations used in the function.

It is possible that student one's function follows the order of operations strictly, evaluating the multiplication first and then subtracting 10. So, for the input of -1:

(-1 * -1) - 10 = 1 - 10 = -9.

On the other hand, student two might have ignored the order of operations and evaluated the subtraction first, and then multiplied. So, for the input of -1:

-1 * (-1 - 10) = -1 * (-11) = -1 * -11 = -5.

Therefore, the difference in output can be attributed to the different order of operations used by the two students.
