The difference of the answers between (-2)^4 and -2^4

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

(-2)^4 = (-2)× (-2)× (-2)× (-2) =+16

but : -2^4 = - ((2)× (2)× (2)× (2)) = -(+16) = -16

given that triangle abc is transformed two times to get triangle

a"b"c"

first abc is transformed in to a'b'c' as follows:

the coordinates of a are (1,-1) and transformed into a'(-1,1)

similarly b (4,-2) became b'(-4,2) and

c(7,-2) became c'(-7,2)

i.e. (x,y) becomes (-x,-y)

this is nothing but reflection about a point here origin.

thus first transformation is reflection on the origin.

next is exactly shifting 3 units down
