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.
Hello there ^ _ ^
We know that 36 plates filled 1 box
if we have 1000 plates, how many box it would fill.
All we have to do is divide 1000 by 36 to find the answer.
1000/ 36 = 27.77777 or you can just say 28
I hope this help!
This would be 3x + y = 0.
I hope this helps!
1/5 equals 12 so 12 times 5 is 60 so
a=36
b=24
Your welcome
A: apples
b: bananas
Your expression could be:
$0.80a + $0.60b = $10.00
----
$0.80 ( 8 ) + $0.60 ( 6 ) = $10.00
$6.40 + 3.60 = $10.00
$10.00 = $10.00
