Answer with positive exponent =
or 
Answer with negative exponent = 
===========================================================
Explanation:
The rule we use is

If we multiply two exponential expressions with the same base, then we add the exponents.
The base for each is 5. The exponents 4 and -7 add to -3.
This means

To convert to a positive exponent, we apply the reciprocal to the base. We go from 5, aka 5/1, to 1/5.
So, 
Answer:
The answer is "10,000".
Step-by-step explanation:
In the 10^4 can be written as 10 exponents 4, which is not equal to 40,000. Tia's opinion was incorrect because the exponential shows how much they multiply that base number.
Let's explain :


Answer:
1:
we have a rule that is (n-2)×180
while n = number of sides
2:
exterior angle of a polygon = 360 ÷ number of sides
so 360÷25=14.4
3:
octagon is 8 side, so as we said: (8-2)×180 = 1080
4:
lets make an equation, we know that (n-2)×180 = the sum
so (x-2)×180=720
180x -360 = 720
180x = 1080
x=6
<span>Amount spent at start C = $300
Rate = 3% = 0.03
Number of periods = 3 years
Future Value at the maturity FV = 300 x (1 + 0.03) ^3= 300 x 1.0927 = 328
The correct answer would be 328.14</span>
