One nice thing about this situation is that you’ve been given everything in the same base. To review a little on the laws of exponents, when you have two exponents with the same base being:
– Multiplied: Add their exponents
– Divided: Subtract their exponents
We can see that in both the numerator and denominator we have exponents *multiplied* together, and the product in the numerator is being *divided* by the product in the detonator, so that translates to *summing the exponents on the top and bottom and then finding their difference*. Let’s throw away the twos for a moment and just focus on the exponents. We have
[11/2 + (-7) + (-5)] - [3 + 1/2 + (-10)]
For convenience’s sake, I’m going to turn 11/2 into the mixed number 5 1/2. Summing the terms in the first brackets gives us
5 1/2 + (-7) + (-5) = - 1 1/2 + (-5) = -6 1/2
And summing the terms in the second:
3 + 1/2 + (-10) = 3 1/2 + (-10) = -6 1/2
Putting those both into our first question gives us -6 1/2 - (-6 1/2), which is 0, since any number minus itself gives us 0.
Now we can bring the 2 back into the mix. The 0 we found is the exponent the 2 is being raised to, so our answer is
2^0, which is just 1.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
add 4 on both sides
leaves you with 15 on the right side
you then divide by negative 2
since you divide by a negative you have to switch the sign

72 is the length d of how deep end in feet}
Answer:
A ≈ 40.3 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of right Δ ACD is calculated as
A = 
bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )
Here A = 50.5, b = CD and h = AC , then
× 14 × AC = 50.5
7 AC = 50.5 ( divide both sides by 7 )
AC ≈ 7.214
The area of Δ ABC is calculated as
A = × BC × AC × sin36°
= 0.5 × 19 × 7.214 × sin36°
≈ 40.3 cm² ( to 3 sf )
