5^-3 is 1/125
The negative in the exponent makes it so there is a 1 over the problem if there was no negative. When you have a negative in the exponent, the answer will be the reciprocal (opposite) of the question with no negative.
For example,
9^2 = 81
9^-2 = 1/81
Answer:
the slope is zero because the slope is zero
Hi!
We can see the river is a straight line.
This means that the angles that fall upon it are supplementary angles, and will add up to 180 degrees.
Therefore:

Combine like terms:

Subtract 21 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 3:

Therefore, the value of x is 53 degrees.
Answer:
x = ±2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x ^2 -4 = 8
Add 4 to each side
3x ^2 -4+4 = 8+4
3x^2 =12
Divide each side by 3
3x^2 =12
3x^2/3 = 12/3
x^2 = 4
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(4)
x = ±2
