When you multiply a same number but with different powers, you can simply add the powers together. So, in your question, add the powers -1 and -7 together.
7^(-1) x 7^(-7) = 7^(-8)
When you divide a same number but with different powers, you subtract the power at the top with the power from the denominator. So, -8 - (-7) = -1.
7^(-8) / 7^(-7) = 7^(-1)
So your answer would be 7^(-1).
Hopefully my explanation was clear?
You have to find out what x is because x is an imaginary number
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A = Pe^rt
A = total
P = amount you start with
r = rate
t = time
Let's calculate the rate.
99000000 = 94000000e^r*6
Divide each side by 94m
99000000/94000000 = e^6r
Take the natural log of e of both sides.
ln(99000000/94000000) = 6r
Divide each side by 6.
(ln(99000000/94000000))/6 = r
Now we can find the population in 2005.
A = 94000000e^0.00863751131 * 12
A = 104265957
The population in 2005 is 104,265,957 people.
