2. Page 3. Practice: Use your calculator to sketch a graph of each
You divide the numerator by the denominator
Mean is the average
So the first mean is 11
The second one is 14.7 so round to 15
15-11 is 4. Hope that is correct
Since you’re multiplying n^-6 and n^3, you can add the exponents: -6+3 = -3
n^-6 * n^3 = n^-3
If you need to finish without having a negative exponent in your answer, then remember a negative exponent means that factor is on the wrong side of the fraction.
n^-3 = n^-3 / 1 = 1/n^3
when the factor moves to the other side of the fraction, the side of the exponent changes.
It’s eight because 7 can round up so it changed to eight
