Questions: (-15+17)^2 * 2 /(15-17)=

Transcript text: \[ (-15+17)^{2} \cdot 2 \div(15-17)= \]

Solution

To solve the given expression, follow these steps:

Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.
Calculate the power of the simplified result.
Multiply the result by 2.
Divide the result by the simplified expression inside the second set of parentheses.

Step 1: Simplify the First Parenthesis

We start with the expression \( -15 + 17 \): \[ -15 + 17 = 2 \]

Step 2: Simplify the Second Parenthesis

Next, we simplify \( 15 - 17 \): \[ 15 - 17 = -2 \]

Step 3: Calculate the Power

Now we calculate \( (2)^2 \): \[ (2)^2 = 4 \]

Step 4: Multiply by 2

We then multiply the result by 2: \[ 4 \cdot 2 = 8 \]

Step 5: Divide by the Second Simplified Expression

Finally, we divide by the result from the second parenthesis: \[ \frac{8}{-2} = -4.0 \]

\(\boxed{-4.0}\)
