Step 1
1 dollar and 60 cents (1.6) = 2 dollars and 56 cents
Step 2
2 dollars and 56 cents (0.80) = 2 dollars and 5 cents
Step 3
2 dollars and 5 cents (3) = 8 dollars and 20 cents
Step 4
8 dollars and 20 cents (1.08) = 8 dollars and 86 cents

How do you do this. Please give a full answer and explain why.
OverLord2011 [107]

<u>L</u><u>a</u><u>w</u><u> </u><u>o</u><u>f</u><u> </u><u>E</u><u>x</u><u>p</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u>

\displaystyle \large{ {a}^{ - n}  =  \frac{1}{ {a}^{n} } }

Compare the terms.

\displaystyle \large{ {a}^{ - n}  =   {( - 2)}^{ - 3} }

Therefore, a = -2 and n = 3. From the law of exponent above, we receive:

\displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3}  =  \frac{1}{ {( - 2)}^{ 3} } }

<u>E</u><u>x</u><u>p</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>e</u><u>n</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>D</u><u>e</u><u>f</u><u>.</u> (For cubic)

\displaystyle \large{ {a}^{3}  = a \times a \times a }

Factor (-2)^3 out.

\displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3}  =  \frac{1}{( - 2) \times ( - 2) \times ( - 2)}}

(-2) • (-2) = 4 | Negative × Negative = Positive.

\displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3}  =  \frac{1}{4 \times ( - 2)}}

4 • (-2) = -8 | Negative Multiply Positive = Negative.

\displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3}  =  \frac{1}{  - 8}}

If either denominator or numerator is in negative, it is the best to write in the middle or between numerator and denominators.

Hence,

\displaystyle \large \boxed{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3}  =  -  \frac{1}{  8}}

The answer is - 1 / 8

The number square root of 3 goes on forever with no repeating pattern therefore it is rational?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A number that can expressed as \frac{p}{q},

Where, p and q are integers such that q ≠ 0, is called a rational number.

Also, a decimal number with repeating pattern is a rational number,

( for eg : 0.333.... = \frac{3}{9} )

Since,

√3 = 1.73205080757.....

∴ There is no repeating pattern

Thus, √3 is not a rational number.

Given statement is FALSE.
