Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expressions. Match the expression with its equivalent value.
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1) \frac{(-2)^{-5}}{(-2)^{-10}}=-32

2) 2^{-1}.2^{-4} = \frac{1}{32}

3) (-\frac{1}{2} )^3.(-\frac{1}{2} )^2=-\frac{1}{32}

4) \frac{2}{2^{-4}} = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

1) \frac{(-2)^{-5}}{(-2)^{-10}}

Solving using exponent rule: a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}

\frac{(-2)^{-5}}{(-2)^{-10}}\\=(-2)^{-5+10}\\=(-2)^{5}\\=-32

So, \frac{(-2)^{-5}}{(-2)^{-10}}=-32

2) 2^{-1}.2^{-4}

Using the exponent rule: a^m.a^n=a^{m+n}

We have:

2^{-1}.2^{-4}\\=2^{-1-4}\\=2^{-5}

We also know that: a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}

Using this rule:

2^{-5}\\=\frac{1}{2^5}\\=\frac{1}{32}

So, 2^{-1}.2^{-4} = \frac{1}{32}

3) (-\frac{1}{2} )^3.(-\frac{1}{2} )^2

Solving:

(-\frac{1}{2} )^3.(-\frac{1}{2} )^2\\=(-\frac{1}{8} ).(\frac{1}{4} )\\=-\frac{1}{32}

So, (-\frac{1}{2} )^3.(-\frac{1}{2} )^2=-\frac{1}{32}

4) \frac{2}{2^{-4}}

We know that: a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}

\frac{2}{2^{-4}}\\=2\times 2^4\\=2(16)\\=32

So, \frac{2}{2^{-4}} = 32

A 250 m train travels through a 2km tunnel at 27 km/hr. How long is it from the time the front of the train enters the tunnel, t
olga55 [171]

Answer:

5 min

Step-by-step explanation:

time taken=distance required to travel/speed of train

total distance train have to cover to just left the tunnel is (lenght of tunnel+length of train) =2km+250m

=2250m

speed of train is 27km/hr

multiply 5/18 to convert in m/s

i.e, (5/18)×27=7.5m/s

now time taken =2250m/(7.5m/s)

=300s

and,300s =5min
