1 answer:
Following the generalized form that you wrote, you know that a negative exponent sends its base to the denominator (or numerator if it's in the denominator already). Or to put it formally as you wrote it, for any nonzero real number a and natural number n, <span>the negative rule of exponents states that </span>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is function composition. We will take the g function and plug it into the f function wherever we see an x. That will look like this when it's done but before it's simplified:
and that can be simplified down to
The domain of this function will be all real numbers EXCEPT for the one(s) that cause the denominator to become undefined. Set the denominator equal to 0 and solve for x:
5x - 4 = 0 so
5x = 4 and
x = 4/5
In other words, D = {x | x ≠ 4/5}
