This is really confusing me: Simplify so that your answers contain only positive exponents.

Mathematics
1 answer:
xxTIMURxx [149]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplifying expressions of this sort, there are four rules of exponents that come into play;

  a^ba^c=a^{b+c}\\\\(ab)^c=a^cb^c\\\\(a^b)^c=a^{bc}\\\\\dfrac{1}{a^b}=a^{-b}\ \quad\text{which means}\quad a^b=\dfrac{1}{a^{-b}}

__

I find it convenient to eliminate the fractions by adding the exponents, then rewrite any negative exponents as denominator factors.

23. \quad\dfrac{1}{x^{-2}}=x^2\\\\24. \quad\dfrac{mn}{m^2n^3}=m^{1-2}n^{1-3}=m^{-1}n^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{mn^2}\\\\25. \quad\dfrac{k^{-2}}{k^{-3}}=k^{-2-(-3)}=k\\\\26. \quad\left(\dfrac{m^2}{n^3}\right)^3=\dfrac{m^{2\cdot 3}}{n^{3\cdot 3}}=\dfrac{m^6}{n^9}\\\\27. \quad\dfrac{x^2y^3z^4}{x^{-3}y^{-4}z^{-5}}=x^{2-(-3)}y^{3-(-4)}z^{4-(-5)}=x^5y^7z^9

Prove by contradiction that the interval (a,<br> b.has no minimum element.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Assume (a,b) has a minimum element m.


m is in the interval so a < m < b.


a < m


Adding a to both sides,


2a < a + m


Adding m to both sides of the first inequality,


a + m < 2m


So


2a < a+m < 2m


a < (a+m)/2 < m < b


Since the average (a+m)/2 is in the range (a,b) and less than m, that contradicts our assumption that m is the minimum. So we conclude there is no minimum since given any purported minimum we can always compute something smaller in the range.
