Simplify using only POSITIVE exponents:

Mathematics

So here are a few rules with exponents that you should know:

  1. Multiplying exponents of the same base: x^m*x^n=x^{m+n}
  2. Dividing exponents of the same base: x^m\div x^n=x^{m-n}
  3. Powering a power to a power: (x^m)^n=x^{m*n}
  4. Converting a negative exponent to a positive one: x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m}\ \textsf{and}\ \frac{1}{x^{-m}}=x^m
<h2>1.</h2>

Firstly, solve the outside exponent:

(2x^3y^7)^{-2}=2^{-2}x^{3*-2}y^{7*-2}=2^{-2}x^{-6}y^{-14}

Next, convert the negative exponents into positive ones:

2^{-2}x^{-6}y^{-14}=\frac{1}{2^2x^6y^{14}}=\frac{1}{4x^6y^{14}}

<u>Your final answer is \frac{1}{4x^6y^{14}}</u>

<h2>2.</h2>

For this, just divide:

\frac{12x^5y^3}{4x^{-1}}=\frac{12}{4}x^{5-(-1)}y^{3-0}=3x^6y^3

<u>Your final answer is 3x^6y^3</u>

<h2>3.</h2>

For this, convert all negative exponents into positive ones:

\frac{r^{-7}b^{-8}}{t^{-4}w}=\frac{t^4}{r^7b^8w}

<u>Your final answer is \frac{t^4}{r^7b^8w}</u>

10. 10. If AB bisects CAF, and m&lt;EAF = 72°,<br>then the m&lt;BAF =​
never [62]

The measure of ∠BAF is 54°.

Solution:

DF and CE are intersecting lines.

m∠EAF = 72° and AB bisects ∠CAF.

∠EAF and ∠DAC are vertically opposite angles.

Vertical angle theorem:

<em>If two lines are intersecting, then vertically opposite angles are congruent.</em>

∠DAC ≅ ∠EAF

m∠DAC = 72°

<em>Sum of the adjacent angles in a straight line = 180°</em>

m∠DAE + m∠EAF = 180°

m∠DAE + 72° = 180°

Subtract 72° from both sides.

m∠DAE = 108°

∠CAF and ∠DAE are vertically opposite angles.

⇒ m∠CAF = m∠DAE

⇒ m∠CAF = 108°

AB bisects ∠CAF means ∠CAB = ∠BAF

m∠CAB + m∠BAF = 108°

m∠BAF + m∠BAF = 108°

2 m∠BAF = 108°

Divide by 2 on both sides, we get

m∠BAF = 54°

Hence the measure of ∠BAF is 54°.
