Does a negative exponent result in a negative answer

1 answer:

5 0

No! Remember, you see a negative exponent, that just means the reciprocal of the positive exponent. So 1 over negative 2 to the third power, to the positive third power. And this is equal to 1 over negative 2 times negative 2 times negative 2. ... So this is equal to negative 1/8.

4 1/4 divided by 3 and 1/2

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

1 3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You want to turn the fractions into mixed numbers.

2. 4 1/4 is equal to 17/4

3. 3 1/2 is equal to 7/2

4. I have a fraction calculator and got 1 and 6/28.

5. To solve it yourself, flip 7/2 to make it 2/7 and change from division to multiplication.

Looked like: $\frac{17}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{7}{2}$

Looks like: $\frac{17}{4}$ · $\frac{2}{7}$

17 times 2 is 34 and 4 times 7 is 28. Leaving us with 34/28.

Now just simplify and get an answer of 1 and 3/14.

This Must Only Have One Solution, Because The Right Side Of The Equation Is Just Plainly Ten. Lets Solve This:

5x + 3x - 4 = 10

Add Four To Both Sides To Begin Simplifying.

5x + 3x = 14

Now, Combine Like Terms.

8x = 14

Divide:

8x/8 = 1X = X

14/8

X = 14/8

14/8 = 1.75

X = 1.75

Check:

(5 * 1.75) + (3*1.75) - 4 = 10

8.75 + 5.25 - 4 = 10

14 - 4 = 10

10 = 10.

This Is True, So X Does Equal 1.75

On every sale he makes, Bill earns a commission. On a bed he sells for $591, Bill earns a $43 commission. Find the percent commi

user100 [1]

The percent of commission is 7.3% to the nearest tenth of a percent

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

Bill earns a commission on every sale he makes
He sells a bed for $591 and earns a $43 commission

We need to find the percent commission

To find the percent of commission divide the commission by the selling price and multiply the answer by 100%

∵ His commission is $43

∵ The selling price is $591

∵ The percent of commission = $\frac{commission}{selling price}$ × 100%

∴ The percent of commission = $\frac{43}{591}$ × 100%

∴ The percent of commission = 7.2758%

- Rounded it to the nearest tenth percent

∴ The percent of commission = 7.3%

The percent of commission is 7.3% to the nearest tenth of a percent
