Answer:
256
Step-by-step explanation:
A calculator works well for this.
_____
None of the minus signs are subject to the exponents (because they are not in parentheses, as (-1)^5, for example. Since there are an even number of them in the product, their product is +1 and they can be ignored.
1 to any power is still 1, so the factors (1^n) can be ignored.
After you ignore all of the things that can be ignored, your problem simplifies to ...
(2^2)(2^-3)^-2
The rules of exponents applicable to this are ...
(a^b)^c = a^(b·c)
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
Then your product simplifies to ...
(2^2)(2^((-3)(-2)) = (2^2)(2^6)
= 2^(2+6)
= 2^8 = 256
Rewrite the equations of the given boundary lines:
<em>y</em> = -<em>x</em> + 1 ==> <em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 1
<em>y</em> = -<em>x</em> + 4 ==> <em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 4
<em>y</em> = 2<em>x</em> + 2 ==> -2<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 2
<em>y</em> = 2<em>x</em> + 5 ==> -2<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 5
This tells us the parallelogram in the <em>x</em>-<em>y</em> plane corresponds to the rectangle in the <em>u</em>-<em>v</em> plane with 1 ≤ <em>u</em> ≤ 4 and 2 ≤ <em>v</em> ≤ 5.
Compute the Jacobian determinant for this change of coordinates:
Rewrite the integrand:
The integral is then
