Answer:

(B) The exponents should be subtracted by the quotient rule of exponents

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's examine how this was solved.

(\frac{4^2 4^3}{4^{-5}})^2

He first rose everything in the parentheses to the second power, which is just multiplying all the exponents by 2. This is correct.

\frac{4^4 4^6}{4^{-10}}

He then combined the numerator exponents. Exponent rules say that a^b \cdot a^c = a^b+c, so he should have ended up with 4^{10}, which he did. This is correct.

\frac{4^{10}}{4^{-10}}

Now, what he did in the final step is wrong. He added the exponents. However, exponent rules tell us that when we have \frac{a^b}{a^c}, it equals a^{b-c}.

10 - (-10) = 10+10 = 20

So the final answer should have been 4^{20}

Hope this helped!

Last PreCalc Question, Need help with writing piecewise functions with graphs. Giving brainliest!
LekaFEV [45]

The piece-wise linear functions can be written as follows:

  • f(x) = x, x \leq -2.
  • f(x) = -x - 7, -2 < x \leq 1.
  • f(x) = 2x - 9, x > 1.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

For x equal or less than -2, the line passes through (-3,-3) and (-2,-2), hence the rule is:

f(x) = x, x \leq -2.

For x greater than -2 up to 1, the y-intercept is of -7, and the line also passes through (1,-8), hence the rule is:

f(x) = -x - 7, -2 < x \leq 1.

For x greater than 1, the function goes through (2,-5) and (3,-3), hence the slope is:

m = (-3 - (-5))(3 - 2) = 2.

The rule is:

y = 2x + b.

When x = 2, y = -5, hence:

-5 = 2(2) + b

b = -9.

Hence:

f(x) = 2x - 9, x > 1.
