Answer:Thus,  (-3)-4 = 1/(-3)4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative exponents have the following property:   n-m = 1/nm   OR   1/n-m = nm

So for  (-3)-4 ,  n= -3 and -m= -4 (or m= 4).

Thus,  (-3)-4 = 1/(-3)4.

5x² + |x+1| > 0
5x² + x + 1 > 0
x+1 > 0 because it came from absolute
5x² > 0 because it’s squared

When you try a number you should put it in the original equality
5x² + |x+1|
