((-4)^5)^8 / ((-4)^7)^3

= (-4)^40 / (-4)^21

= (-4)^20

So you need to simplify the two fractions by first simplifying the exponent. this would mean that each deviant has one set of exponent instead of a pair.
thus, -4`40 ÷ -4`21
the two bases are equal.
#4 rule states that when a`n/b`m (fraction). if bases are the same, the exponent of the denominator is subtracted to the exponent of the numerator. assuming a & b are equal, the answer will look like this: (a`(n-m))
so apply this rule to your question. also, it'll be helpful to learn the laws of indices.

final answer: 4`19
NOTE: ` stands for 'the power of`
so in word form your answer is four to the power of nineteen.

Hope this helped :)

Using the z-distribution, as we are working with a proportion, it is found that the margin of error for the 90% confidence interval is of 0.0524 = 5.24%.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

The margin of error is given by:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In this problem, the critical value is given as z = 1.645, and since 26 out of 80 students said they would be willing to pay extra:

$n = 80, \pi = \frac{26}{80} = 0.325$

Then, the <em>margin of error</em> is of:

$M = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.325(0.675)}{80}} = 0.0524$

How do i solve systems of equations by elimination?

stiv31 [10]

First make sure that one of the variable has the same coefficient in each equations.

For example lets use:
y=x+3
2y=3x-1

Since neither the y's or x's are the same, we must multiply the equations to make them the same. I am going to multiply the first equation by 2 so I can eliminate the y's.

So we get:
2y=2x+3
2y=3x-1

Then we subtract the second equation from the first to eliminate the y's. So we end up with 0=-x+4 and now we solve for x
0=-x+4
x=4

Now we plug in our x into either original to get the y-value. I am using the first
y=x+3
y=4+3
So the x=4 and y=7

Hope this helps!
