Answer:

0.9545

Step-by-step explanation:

Let an integer be x.

If x is increased by 15%, then the value of the number would be

115/100x=1.15x

If 1.15x is decreased by 17%, then the value of the number would be:

(100-17)/100×1.15x

83/100×1.15x=0.9545x

PLEASE HELP ASAP!! Represent the following expressions as a power of the number a where a≠0.

Step2247 [10]

After using the property of power, the expressions as a power of the number a is $(a^3)^{-2} = a^{-6}$ , $(a^{-1}\cdot a^{-2})^{-3} = a^{9}$ and $((a^2)^{-2})^2=a^{-8}$ .
