Check the picture below.
make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.
4/10^2 = 0.04
which is equal to:
4x10^-2
As there are two digits behind the decimal point up to( and including the 4) thus the 10^-2
And as the digit is a 4 you multiply 10^-2 by 4
You can set up a system of equations with x being the smaller number and y being the larger number. So the first equation would be 2y=5x-14 and the second equation would be x=y-2. You can solve by substitution and substitute y-2 into the x in the first equation to get 2y=5(y-2)-14. You can solve this out and it ends up simplifying to y=8. So you know the larger number is 8. So since the larger number is 8 and they are consecutive even integers, the smaller number must be 6. So the two numbers would be 6 and 8.
3y^-4 × (2y^-4) = 6y^-8
= 6/1/y^8
= 6/y^8

1) When x^1 multiply with x^2, 1 will add to 2 and become 3
= x^3
2) y^-1 = 1/y
3^-2 = 1/3^2 = 1/9
5^-2 = 1/5^2 = 1/25
