Step-by-step explanation:
4^5 (-2)^9/4^8 (-2)^3
= 4^(5 - 8) (-2^(9 - 3))
= 4^-3 (-2^6)
= (-2)^6/4^3
1). (-2)^a/4^b
a = 6, b = 3
2). c/d
c = -2, d = 4
Answer:
x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. subtract 16 from both sides which leaves you left with
x=-4

Answer:
x + x + x + x is the same as 4x
because its "x four times"
5x and x+5 are not the same because x+5 in not "x five times"
5x is 5 multiplied by x.
x + 5 is 5 added to x.
To determine the solution of the quadratic equation, use the quadratic formula which states that,
x = ((-b +/- sqrt (b² - 4ac)) / 2a
From the equation, a = 1, b = 14, and c = 112. Substituting these to the quadratic formula,
x = <span>((-14 +/- sqrt (14² - 4(1)(12)) / 2(1) = indeterminate
Thus, the equation does not a real number solution. </span>
