Answer:

a = 6

b = 3

c = 64

d= 64

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Apply the quotient of powers:

(-2)^a / 4^b

In the given expression:

4^5(-2)^9/4^8(-2)^3

base same then the powers are subtracting if the bases are in numerator and denominator

i.e a^m/a^n = a^{m-n}

Solving:

=(-2)^{9-3}/4^{-5+8}\\=(-2)^6/4^3

therefore, the values of a and b are: a = 6

b = 3

2. Evaluate Powers

c/d

We have

(-2)^6/4^3

When power is even negative sign changes into plus sign

64/64

Therefore, we get the values of c and d

c = 64

d= 64

You have $60 and your sister has $120. You are saving $14 per week and your sister is saving $10 per week. How long will it be b
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

15 weeks

The amount of money is  270

Step-by-step explanation:

You: 60 +14x

Sister: 120+10x

Set them equal to each other

60+14x = 120+10x

Subtract 10x from each side

60+4x= 120

Subtract 60 from each side

4x= 60

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 60/4

x = 15

15 weeks

The amount of money is 120+10*15 = 120+150 = 270

Lilit [14]
Hi there!

The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2(b x h). Using the information provided, all we have to do is plug in what we know and solve!

WORK:
74 = 1/2(b x 9.14)
148 = b x 9.14
b = 16.2 inches (approximately)

Hope this helps!! :)
