The rule for negative exponents is that if the exponent is negative to begin with, in order to make it negative, you put it into the denominator of a fraction, and raise it to whatever the power is. To go from positive exponents (those that are already in the denominator), move it up to the numerator and make the exponent negative. So your solution would be 5x^-2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
-4(9)(-5) = (-36)(-5) because -4(9) = -36. (-36)(-5) = 180
Answer:
11 feet (Option C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the longer side be l and the shorter side be b.
We know that,
→ Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( longer side + shorter side )
Here,
- Perimeter of rectangle is 32 feet.
→ 32 = 2 (l + b)
→ 32 = 2l + 2(5)
→ 32 = 2l + 10
→ 32 - 10 = 2l
→ 22 = 2l
→ 
= l
→ 11 = l
→<u> 11 feet = longer side</u>
<u>Length</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>longer</u><u> </u><u>side</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>feet</u><u>.</u>
2)
The area of the whole polygon can be found by adding the area of the top square and the bottom rectangle.
Area of square = 1² = 1
Area of rectangle = 3 × 4 = 12
Area of whole polygon = 1 + 12 = 13 inches²
Hope this helps :)
