Consider the following expression: 4+(−6)⋅2/−(−3)^2

Question

. What is the simplified denominator?

Answer 1

To simplify the denominator of the expression \( -(-3)^2 \), we start by evaluating \((-3)^2\).

\[ (-3)^2 = 9 \]

Now, substituting this value back in, we have:

\[ -(-3)^2 = -9 \]

Thus, the simplified denominator is:

\[ \boxed{-9} \]
