First step, write down the expression on one line, using necessary parentheses. 

(2^8*5^(-5)*19^0)^(-2) * (5^(-2)/2^3)^4 *2^28

The apply the PEMDAS rule to simplify according to priority:
1. Parentheses
2. Exponentiation
3. Multiplication and Division (left to right)
4. Addition and Subtraction (left to right)

For exponentiation, it is convenient to convert all negative exponents to positive by taking the reciprocal, for example,
a^(-2)= 1/(a^2)
So
(2^8*5^(-5)*19^0)^(-2) * (5^(-2)/2^3)^4 *2^28
=1/[(2^8*5^(-5)*19^0)^(2)] * (1/[5^2*2^3])^4 *2^28
=5^5/[(2^8*19^0)^(2)] * (1/[5^2*2^3])^4 *2^28
Remember positive numbers raised to power zero equals 1, e.g.
a^0=a for any number a.
so 19^0=1
=5^10/[(2^8)^(2)] * (1/[5^2*2^3])^4 *2^28
Now, powers raised to a power equals the product of the powers, e.g.
(2^8)^2=2^16, (5^2)^4=5^8, (2^3)^4=2^12...
continuing,
=5^10/[2^16] * 1/[5^8*2^12] *2^28
When we have exponents to the same base in the denominator and numerator, we subtract exponents, e.g.
5^5/5^8=5^(5-8)=5^(-3), 2^28/[2^16*2^12]=2^(28-16-12)=2^0=1
so we get rid of many terms this way
continuing
=5^(10-8)*2^(28-16-12)
=5^2*2^0
=25*1
=25

In the graph above, the coordinates of the vertices of QPR are Q(3, 0), P(5, 6), and R(7, 0). If AQPR is reflected across
ozzi

Answer:

D. (7, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule for a reflection over the y-axis is (x, y) → (x, -y)

This means that the x-values stay the same while the y-values change.

Q(x, y) → (x, -y)

Q(3, 0) → (3, 0)

Q'(3, 0)

P(x, y) → (x, -y)

P(5, 6) → (5, -6)

P'(5, -6)

R(x, y) → (x, -y)

R(7, 0) → (7, 0)

R'(7, 0)

Therefore, the correct answer is D.

Hope this helps!
