Step-by-step explanation:

a) if the population is 3000 and it is being multiplied 1.15 than it is 15%. I found this by multiplying 1.15 by 100 to make it percent than anything over 100 is an increase.

b)im not so sure on this one but I think if t = 0 than it would be p= 3000 x 1.15 x0 which would equal 0

c) p = 3000x 1.15 x 24 p = 82,800

1.Simplify 5 to the 5th over 5 to the 8th.

timurjin [86]

Q1. The answer is 1 over 5 to the 3rd power.

5 to the 5th is 5⁵
5 to the 8th is 5⁸
5 to the 5th over 5 to the 8th is $\frac{ 5^{5} }{ 5^{8} }$
To simplify, we will use two rules:
$\frac{ x^{a}}{ x^{b} } = x^{a-b} \\ x^{-a} = \frac{1}{ x^{a}}$
Therefore:
$\frac{ 5^{5} }{ 5^{8} } = 5^{5-8} =5^{-3}= \frac{1}{5^{3}}$
$\frac{1}{5^{3}}$ is the same as 1 over 5 to the 3rd power.

Q2. The answer is (53)−4.

The exponents are multiplied when are expressed in the form:
 $(x^{a}) ^{b}= x^{a*b}$
So, $(5^{3} )^{-4}=5^{3*(-4)}=5^{-12}$

Other choices are incorrect:
one third to the 4th times one third to the 7th is $( \frac{1}{3} )^{4} *( \frac{1}{3} )^{7}=( \frac{1}{3} )^{4+7}$
3 to the 7th over 3 to the 15th is $\frac{ 3^{7} }{3^{15}} =3^{7-15}$
45 ⋅ 42 is $4^{5}* 4^{2} = 4^{5+2}$
