Question

What is the sign of s^67/t^9 when s < 0 and t > 0?

Answer 1

Answer:

• negative

Step-by-step explanation:

The sign of a product or quotient cannot be determined by the positive number (t), so we can ignore it. The sign of the expression will be negative if and only if there are an odd number of negative factors.

Here, there are 67 (an odd number) negative factors, so the expression will be negative.

Answer 2

Answer:

negative

Step-by-step explanation:

$s^{67}0 \\ \\ \implies \frac{s^{67}}{t^9}$
