Answer:
Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that you wanted to know what 
is.
To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So becomes 
.
This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So 
would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase to 
, you would have to multiply a with two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease to 
, you would have to divide by a 3 times.
If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times: 
means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.
Hope this helps.

Answer:
x=32
Step-by-step explanation:
sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180
add up all angles and equate to 180
(4x-13)+(x+18)+15=180
5x=160
x=160/5=32
x+18 = 32+18 = 50
4x-13 = 4x32-13 = 128-13 = 115
add up all to check whether ans = 180; 15+50+115=180
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
4 because 4^2 = 16.
Answer:
(7/8 - 4/5)^2 = 9/
1600
= 0.005625
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract: 7/
8
- 4/
5
= 7 · 5/
8 · 5
- 4 · 8/
5 · 8
= 35/
40
- 32/
40
= 35 - 32/
40
= 3/
40
For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(8, 5) = 40. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 8 × 5 = 40. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.
In words - seven eighths minus four-fifths = three fortieths.
Exponentiation: the result of step No. 1 ^ 2 = 3/
40
^ 2 = 32/
402
= 9/
1600
In words - three-fortieths squared = nine one-thousand six-hundredths.
