a^{-n} =  \frac{1}{ a^{n} }
<em>So,</em> 4-2( 4^{-2})=4-2  \frac{1}{ 4^{2} } = 4-2 \frac{1}{16} = 4- \frac{1}{8}
<em>We amplify 4 with 8 and we get:</em>
\frac{32-1}{8} =  \frac{31}{8}= 3,875

Marina CMI [18]
<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Here we know that Margie is standing on a bridge looking at the river. She throws a rock over the bridge with an initial  velocity of 60 ft/sec. The height, h, of the rock at the rime t seconds after it was thrown can be modeled by the  equation:

h(t) = -16t^2+60t+72

To calculate how long will it take for the rock to reach the surface of the water, we need to set h(t)=0. So:

0 = -16t^2+60t+72 \\ \\ \\ \text{Using quadratic formula}: \\ \\ t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ \\ a=-16 \\ \\ b=60 \\ \\ c=72 \\ \\ \\ t=\frac{-60 \pm \sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(72)}}{2(-16)} \\ \\ t=\frac{-60 \pm \sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(72)}}{2(-16)} \\ \\ t=\frac{-60 \pm \sqrt{8208}}{-32} \\ \\ t_{1}=4.70 \\ \\ t_{2}=-0.95

Given that time can't be negative, we just choose the positive value. Therefore, <em>it will take 4.70 seconds for the rock to reach the surface water.</em>

= 25.2

The Cost of 15 pounds of cheese is

= 15 × $1.85

= $27.75

The Cost of 12 pounds of sausage is

= 12 × $3.40

= $40.8

So, The total cost is

= $25.2 + 27.75 + $40.80

= $93.75
