<h3>
Answer:</h3>

<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
We know that
, so substitute that into the equation. 
With negative powers, instead of making the result negative, you divide one by it. Mathematically speaking,
. This makes our equation: 
Finally, simplify the exponent. 
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
first you have to do the 1+2 to get 3 then you divide 6 by 2 and get 3 then you multiply 3x3 to get 9!
Answer:
a = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
given x = - 1 is a zero then f(- 1) = 0 , that is
a(- 1)³ - (- 1)² - 1 + 4 = 0
- a - 1 - 1 + 4 = 0
- a + 2 = 0 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
- a = - 2 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
a = 2
The patient is recommended to take 24 ounces of coffee per day.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Patient normal intake of coffee daily = 5 times 12 ounces
= 5 × 12 = 60 ounces
Doctor recommends to cut off 60 % of the normal intake of coffee.
And advised to take only 40 % of the daily intake of coffee.
So 60 % of 60 ounces can be calculated as,
= 36 ounces
40 % of 60 ounces is 24 ounces.
So 60 - 36 = 24 ounces of coffee per day
10.99x = 3.99x + 280
7x = 280
x = 40
