Simplify the expression. (−3)^−4

Mathematics
1 answer:
vova2212 [387]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1/81

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem, we are given the expression \displaystyle \large{(-3)^{-4}}. To simplify this expression, we have to use laws of exponents since we cannot directly evaluate negative exponent by default. The law of exponent specifically for this expression is:

\displaystyle \large{a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}}

Apply the formula to our given expression in.

\displaystyle \large{(-3)^{-4}=\dfrac{1}{(-3)^4}}

Evaluate the expression.

\displaystyle \large{(-3)^{-4}=\dfrac{1}{(-3)(-3)(-3)(-3)}}\\\\\displaystyle \large{(-3)^{-4}=\dfrac{1}{81}}

Always keep in mind that for \displaystyle \large{a^{2n}} when \displaystyle \large{a \in \mathbb{R}} and \displaystyle \large{n \in \mathbb{I} - \{0\}} the expression will always remain positive.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Answer:  see below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

C(x) = 39 when 0 < x ≤ 1.0

C(x) = 63 when 1.0 < x ≤ 2.0

C(x) = 87 when 2.0 < x ≤ 3.0

C(x) = 111 when 3.0 < x ≤ 4.0

C(x) = 135 when 4.0 < x ≤ 5.0

C(x) = 159 when 5.0 < x ≤ 6.0

Based on the information I provided above, the answers are:

a) x= 0.6, C(x) = 1.0

   x = 1.0, C(x) = 39

   x = 1.1,  C(x) = 63

   x = 2.5, C(x) = 87

   x = 3.0, C(x) = 87

   x = 4.8, C(x) = 135

   x = 5.0, C(x) = 135

   x = 5.3, C(x) = 159

b) If C(x) = 87, then 2.0 < x ≤ 3.0

c) Domain (all possible x-values): 0 < x ≤ 6.0

d) Range (all possible y-values): {39, 63, 87, 111, 135, 159}
