Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A statement is given i.e. "ten to the eighth divided by ten to the negative third."
It means that 10 to power 8 divided by 10 to the power -3.
Mathematically,

We know that, 
Here, x = 10, a = 8 and b = -3
So,

So, the answer is 
8.213, 8.214 just add 1 hundred to the end
The sad thing is, I don't know either.

this is because when 40 is broken down into two numbers (one divisible to get out of the square root, and one not) you get 25 + 15 under the square root. we know that the square root of 25 is 5, so we can put 5 outside the root and leave 15 inside.
