Question

Consider the following expression: 4+(−6)⋅2/−(−3)2
. What is the simplified denominator?(1 point)

Answer 1

To simplify the denominator of the expression \( 4 + (-6) \cdot 2 / -(-3)^2 \), we focus on the part \(-(-3)^2\).

Let's calculate \((-3)^2\):
\[
(-3)^2 = 9
\]

Now, applying the negative sign:
\[
-(-3)^2 = -9
\]

So the simplified denominator is \(-9\).
