Answer:
<em>8 C sometimes</em>
<em>9 64x^8 y^11</em>
<em>10 c 1.28r^2/ t^9</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Algebraic Operations
</u>
Some basic rules must be fresh in our minds when trying to simplify complex algebraic expressions. For example, the power rule respect to the product or quotient:



Let's face the questions at hand
8. A number is raised to a negative exponent is negative?
Following the expressions recalled above, let's pick the expression

This is a negative power resulting in a positive number
Now we pick

This time, the negative power leads to a negative result, so it doesn't matter the sign of exponent to determine the sign of the result
<em>Answer: C sometimes
</em>
9 simplify(4xy^2)^3(xy)^5



10 simplify(2t^-3)^3(0.4r)^2




13. AC=6
sorry it's just a guess i'm like 99% sure tho
Simplify 1/3(6x - 15) to 6x - 15/3
6x - 15/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Factor out the common term; 3
3(2x - 5)/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Cancel out 3
2x - 5 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Simplify 1/2(10x - 4) to 10x - 4/2
2x - 5 = 10x - 4/2
Factor out the common term; 2
2x - 5 = 2(5x - 2)/2
Cancel out 2
2x - 5 = 5x - 2
Subtract 2x from both sides
-5 = 5x - 2 - 2x
Simplify 5x - 2 - 2x to 3x - 2
-5 = 3x - 2
Add 2 to both sides
-5 + 2 = 3x
Simplify -5 + 2 to -3
-3 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
- 1 = x
Switch sides
<u>x = -1</u>
Answer: -2 73/100
Explanation: keep the -2 and just look at the .73. The .73 is in the hundredths place so you put it over 100.
