Evaluate each expression if $a=-2, b=5, c=-4,$ and $d=6$. $$(c-a)^{2}$$
Added by Sarah M.
Step 1
First, we substitute the given values for $a$ and $c$: $$(c-a)^2=(-4-(-2))^2$$ Simplifying inside the parentheses: $$(c-a)^2=(-4+2)^2$$ Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses: $$(c-a)^2=(-2)^2$$ Squaring $-2$: $$(c-a)^2=4$$ Show more…
