Ahh yes, negative exponents always give us a scare once and a while. All the negative means is to flip the position of its base. For instance, if x has a negative exponent and x in the denominator, all you would have to do is move x to the numerator with the same power (except it's no longer negative). Before we substitute x and all the other variables which the values given, let's eliminate the negatives first.
After flipping positions/eliminating the negative exponents it should look like this:

which simplifies to

now that everything is simplified, and all negative exponents are eliminated we can substitute x with 2, and y with (-4).

which simplifies to

Final Answer: - \frac{1}{32} [/tex]
Answer:
Area is the total surface covered by the shape and perimeter is the total length of the shape.
Answer:
35+70=105, 180-105=75 so the answer is c 75°
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = -¼│x − 5│+ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = a│x − h│+ k
(h, k) is the vertex of the absolute value graph. In this case, it's (5, 3).
y = a│x − 5│+ 3
One point on the graph is (1, 2). Plug in to find the value of a.
2 = a│1 − 5│+ 3
2 = 4a + 3
a = -¼
Therefore, the graph is:
y = -¼│x − 5│+ 3
