Question

compare -2/3 whole square 2 and -3/2 whole square 2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

if by whole square you mean “whole squared” then it means that everything said previous before is square

for example in a dialog:

“a plus b squared” = (a + b^2)

“a plus b whole squared” = (a+b)^2 = (a + b)(a+b) = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

writing whole squared down on paper would be redundant as Mr. Polunsky stated because you could just use parentheses… maybe just “whole squared” refers to a number in which its square is a whole number

otherwise, i haven’t heard this being used but possible it could mean something else but if you heard someone speak the words “whole square” you most likely misheard them because they said “whole squared” which is a phrase i have described in the first few lines
