Start by distributing the exponent to each of the terms in
. This will become
, and
. Now, the expression is:
.
We can now simplify the bottom to read:
because when multiplying variables raised to an exponent, we add the exponents. The expression now looks like:

The 2/8 simplifies to 1/4:

Now, we have two u terms on the top and bottom. When dividing variables raised to an exponent, we subtract the exponents. However, since 3-5=-2, the term will be on the bottom to avoid the negative exponent. The final answer is:

Hope this makes sense!!
Hi, what exactly is the question ?
Answer: 14 weeks 5 days
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Amir has 103 days to finish a project and that he works 7 days a week on the project.
The number of weeks and days that he has to finish the project will be:
= 103/7
= 14 5/7
= 14 weeks 5 days
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
If (X + 8) is a factor of f(x), then to find the root, equate the factor to zero. That is,
X + 8 = 0
X = 0 - 8
X = -8
If -8 is substituted into f(x), the equation will tend to zero. That is,
F( -8 ) = 0
C is therefore the correct answer.
Two right angles? that's what I would think
