sorry, didnt mean to reply to this
first the square root of 4 is 2 so we can sub that in.
now we have 2(2*2)^-2.
2 * 2 of course is 4
with 2(4)^-2, keep in mind that negative exponents just mean to "flip" the number and turn the exponents positive.
so 4^-2 is the same as 1/4^2 or 1/16.
finally 1/16 * 2 = 2/16. 2/16 simplified is 1/8.
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Any variable without a visible coefficient means it has a coefficient of 1. Since it's negated, the coefficient is -1.
As you've got 15%, the best thing to do is to find 10%, then multiply it by 1.5. Once you've found the tip, you add this onto the cost of the meal.
Therefore, the total cost of $25 meal with a 15% tip is $28.75
Hope this helps :)
