To simplify this, you would have to turn b^-2 into a positive exponent.
To do this, we have to flip b^-2, which would get rid of the negate from the exponent: -2
3a^4 b^-2 c^3 / b^-2
Then we get the answer:
3a^4 c^3
------------
b^-2
I have a picture to clarify!
I hope this helped, let me know if you don't understand! ^.^
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
hi
Answer:
a. segment DE and segment EF are congruent to each other but not to segment DF, and their slopes are not related.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for a triangle to be isosceles, two of the line segments must be congruent. (eliminates choices C and D)
If the slopes of the congruent segments are negative reciprocals of each other, the triangle is a right triangle, not an acute triangle. (eliminates choice B)
With choices B, C, D eliminated, we are left with choice A.
__
However, <em>that necessary description is not sufficient</em> to constrain the triangle to be an acute triangle. In order for the triangle to be acute, the third side must be less than √2 times the length of either of the congruent sides.
The correct answer is "none of the above."
