What model can you use to represent −2⋅−6 ?(1 point) − ( + )

11 answers

To represent the expression \(-2 \cdot -6\), we can use a model that illustrates the multiplication of two negative numbers. One common way to represent this concept is through the following equation:

\[

  • (-2) \cdot (-6) = - ( + ) \]

In this model, the first negative number can be seen as taking away or reversing the sign of a positive value, while the second negative number also represents a reversal. Thus, the product of two negative numbers results in a positive value.

So the answer would be represented as:

\[

  • (-2) \cdot (-6) = + 12 \]

This implies that the multiplication of two negatives yields a positive. In numerical value, \(-2 \cdot -6 = 12\).

wrong

I apologize for any confusion in my previous response. Let's clarify how to represent \(-2 \cdot -6\) using the context you provided.

The multiplication of two negative numbers can be expressed as the product of two positive quantities in a conceptual model. In terms of signs, multiplication of negatives can be represented as:

\[ -(-2) \cdot -6 \quad \text{or} \quad -2 \cdot -(-6) \]

Both expressions reflect that we are multiplying two negative quantities, which results in a positive product.

So in terms of the form you provided, if we want to express \(-2 \cdot -6\) as a combination of negative and positive, it can simply be written as:

\[ -(-2) \cdot -6 \text{ or } -2 \cdot -(-6) \]

If you're looking for a specific algebraic representation, please clarify the format or type of model you're referring to, and I would be glad to assist!

-6 is right but -2 isn't

Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your clarification.

To accurately represent \(-2 \cdot -6\) using the required expression format, where you mentioned using a structure of \( - ( + ) \):

You are correct that we want to represent \(-2 \cdot -6\) as the product of a negative and a positive in the form of:

\[ -(-2) \cdot (-6) \]

In this case, we can use:

\[

  • ( + ) \]

So, to rewrite it correctly, we can represent \(-2 \cdot -6\) as:

\[

  • ( + ) \]

This means you can capture the idea of multiplying two negatives resulting in a positive (which equals \(12\)).

Therefore, the final answer based on your guidance to use "− ( + )" should represent this logic well. Thank you for pointing out the details!

just answer

The model to represent \(-2 \cdot -6\) is:

− ( + ).

no

I apologize for the confusion earlier. To accurately represent the expression \(-2 \cdot -6\) in a model format as you requested:

The correct representation is:

− ( − )

This reflects the multiplication of two negative numbers resulting in a positive. Thank you for your patience!

its What model can you use to represent −2⋅−6 ?(1 point) − ( + )

Thank you for your patience. For the expression \(-2 \cdot -6\), the model you can use is:

− ( − )

This indicates that multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive product.

If your answer must align exactly with the structure you've provided as "− ( + )," then it appears we’re looking for how to frame two negatives in a model form; please let me know if there’s a specific model you're looking for!
