Answer:

\frac{5}{y^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have the following expression: 5y^_-2}

There is no parenthesis, so the -2 exponent is only applied to the y, and not the 5.

To rewrite a negative exponent, you can use the property: (\frac{a}{b})^{-x}=(\frac{b}{a})^x

You can derive this property from the exponent property: \frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}

which essentially consists of just cancelling out the x's from the numerator and the denominator, but in some cases you're "cancelling" out more x's in the denominator, than there are in the numerator.

Take for example: \frac{x^2}{x^5}, using the quotient of exponents, we can simplify it to: x^{2-5}=x^{-3}

And to see why this happening, let's expand out the fraction: \frac{x^2}{x^5}\implies \frac{x*x}{x*x*x*x*x}, as you can see in this fraction there are two x's in the numerator and there are also 2 in the denominator (more than 2, but there are at least 2 in the denominator), thus we can cancel out two of the x's leading to the fraction: \frac{1}{x*x*x}

So by definition: x^{-3}=\frac{1}{x*x*x}=\frac{1}{x^3}

So negative exponents are just the reciprocal in a way, or more formally: (\frac{a}{b})^{-x}=(\frac{b}{a})^x

So in your case specifically we can rewrite y^(-2) as: 5 * y^{-2}\implies5*\frac{1}{y^2}\implies \frac{5}{y^2}

Please HELP ASAP!!! The dot plot show the number of hours teenagers spent on two different websites last week. Which statement i
Delvig [45]

Answer:

(F.) the mode of the data for website K is greater than the mode of the data from website L

Step-by-step explanation:

Mode simply means the parameter that occurs the most.

In website K, the one that occurs the most is 8 hours while in website L, the one that occurs the most is 2 hours.

This means that mode of website K is greater than that of website L.

Thus,statement F is correct

Range is the difference between the highest value and the lowest value..

For website K, Range = 14 - 1 = 13

For website L, Range = 13 - 1 = 12

Thus,range of both websites are not the same and as such statement G is wrong.

For a symmetrical distribution, the left and right hand sides of the centre value line of the distribution have to mirror each other.

In this case neither website K nor L have that. Thus, statement H is not correct.

Skewed to the left means that more o

dot points are found to the left of the graph.

For website L, more dot points are located to the left while for website K, it's not the case. Thus, statement J is not correct
