DESCRIBE how a power with a zero exponent (a^0) and a power with a negative exponent (a^−n) can be simplified.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]a^{-n}[/tex] is [tex](\frac{1}{a})^{n}[/tex] OR [tex]\frac{1}{a^{n} }[/tex]

[tex]a^{0}[/tex] = 1, where a ≠ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the exponents, you must put it in positive value

Example:

The simplest form of [tex]2^{-3}[/tex] is to change the exponent from negative value to positive value.

You can do that by reciprocal the number, [tex]2^{-3}=(\frac{1}{2})^{3}[/tex]You can write it [tex]\frac{1}{2^{3}}[/tex], because 1 to any power equal 1

That means if you want to simplify [tex]a^{-n}[/tex], reciprocal a and change the sign of the power from -n to n

The simplest form of [tex]a^{-n}[/tex] is [tex](\frac{1}{a})^{n}[/tex] OR [tex]\frac{1}{a^{n} }[/tex]

For any number, a (a ≠ 0), 1 × a = a, so, the reason that any number to the zero power is 1 because any number to the zero power is just the product of no numbers at all, which is the multiplicative identity, (1)

Example:

The value of [tex](5)^{0}[/tex] = 1, because it is the product of no numbers, so it is equal to the multiplicative identity (1)

That means [tex]a^{0}[/tex] = 1, where a ≠ 0

Very important note:

[tex](0)^{0}[/tex] is undefined value

Why does the base matter when simplifying negative exponents?

Answers

Answer:

A negative exponent just means that the base is on the wrong side of the fraction line, so you need to flip the base to the other side. For instance, "x–2" (pronounced as "ecks to the minus two") just means "x2, but underneath, as in 1 x 2 \frac{1}{x^2} x21 ".

Answer:

4  1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

so if we make the fraction the same having 7 4/9 and 3 1/3

we would then make 1/3 into 3/9 (its the smae thing not simplified)

subtract 7-3=4

4-3=1

and then simplify the fraction

The exact form would be 37/9
But in mixed number form, it would be 4 1/9

25-2z-10z=-3(4z+8)-1
solve and how many solutions ?

Answers

distribute first
25-2z-10z=-12z-24-1
combine like terms
25-12z=-12z-25
add 12z to both sides
25=-25
no solution because the right side has a negative

Answer:

No Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

25 - 2z - 10z = - 3 ( 4z + 8 ) - 1       Equation/Given

Step 2:

25 - 12z = - 12z - 25        Combine Like Terms/Multiply

Step 3:

25 = - 25       Add 12z on both sides

Answer:

y+5 =3(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form of an equation is : y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)

Given in the question ;

x₁= 5

y₁ = -5

y= 3x+3 where m=3

The equation is :

y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)

y--5 =3(x-5)

y+5 =3(x-5) ----equation of the line in point-slope form.

You are going on a field trip and need to choose where to go, The zoo charges a $100 fee plus $10 per student. The museum charges $200 plus $5 per student. How many students have to go on the trip to make the museum a better deal

Answers

Answer:

21 kids have to go on the trip to make the museum a better deal

Step-by-step explanation:

Zoo: y=10x+100

Museum: y=5x+200

10x+100=5x+200

5x=100

x=20

When 20 kids go on trip the costs will be the same. Therefore, once 21 kids go the museum will be cheaper then the zoo as it is increasing at a rate of 5 dollars

5-(x-6)=-7+3(-x+2)

Answers

Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

For this equation, when we remove the parenthesis, we get 5-x+6=-7+-3x+6.

Then we simplify both sides of the equation, so we get 11-x=-1-3x. When we separate the numbers and variables, we get -12=-2x. -12/2 = -6.

5-x+6=-7-3x+6
combine like terma
11-x=-1-3x
add 3x to both sides
11+2x=-1
subtract 11 from both sides
2x=-12
x=-6

What strategy would be the best to solve this problem? Ann-Marie bought apples. She kept one-third for herself and gave the rest to 4 friends. Each friend got 2 apples. How many apples did Ann-Marie buy? A. guess, check and revise B. work backwards C. use a formula D. look for patterns

Answers

Answer:

D. Look for patterns

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve :

Assume number of apples bought = x

Fraction kept = 1/3 of x

Fraction shared = (x - x/3) = (3x - x) /3 = 2x/3

Number of people who shared (2x/3) = 4 with each getting 2

Total number shared = 4 * 2 = 8

Fraction shared = total shared

2x/3 = 8

Multiply both sides by 3

(2x/3) * 3 = 8 * 3

2x = 24

x = 12

Hence, Anne-Marie purchased 12 apples

Answers

Answer:

a. 1/5

b. (3, 3/5)

c. 1/5x = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember: (x, y)

0.5 = 1/2

(1/2, 1/10) = 1/10 ÷ 1/2 = 1/10 • 2 = 1/5, you can divide y/x = constant of proportionality. 1/10 ÷ 1/2.

1 2/5 = 7/5

(7, 7/5) = 7/5 ÷ 7 = 7/5 • 1/7 = 1/5, y/x = constant of proportionality. 7/5 ÷ 7.

a. 1/5 is the constant of proportionalityb. (3, 3/5) because 3/5 ÷ 3 or 3/5 • 1/3 = 1/5.c. 1/5x = y
