Answer:
256
Step-by-step explanation:
A calculator works well for this.
_____
None of the minus signs are subject to the exponents (because they are not in parentheses, as (-1)^5, for example. Since there are an even number of them in the product, their product is +1 and they can be ignored.
1 to any power is still 1, so the factors (1^n) can be ignored.
After you ignore all of the things that can be ignored, your problem simplifies to ...
(2^2)(2^-3)^-2
The rules of exponents applicable to this are ...
(a^b)^c = a^(b·c)
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
Then your product simplifies to ...
(2^2)(2^((-3)(-2)) = (2^2)(2^6)
= 2^(2+6)
= 2^8 = 256
Divide the number of actual pages by 2.
52/2 = 26

Your classmate's error about AB and DC being complimentary and parallel is that they misapplied the alternate angle property.
<h3>Why are AB and DC not parallel?</h3><h3 />
There isn't enough evidence presented in the diagram to say that AB and DC are parallel.
The evidence required would be proof that angle AWZ is equal to angle WZY.
Instead, all we have is that angle AWZ and angle XYC are equal which does not tell us what we need to know about AB and DC being parallel.
