Answer: (-\frac{5}{7})^{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression can be simplified by applying the a properties of exponents, specifically the Product of powers, which states that:

(b^a)(b^c)=b^{(a+c)

Where b is the base and a and c are exponents.

 Then simplify it by rewriting the base (-\frac{5}{7}) and adding the exponents of the expression (8 and 9).

You will get the expression simplified and written as a power:

(-\frac{5}{7})^8(-\frac{5}{7})^9=(-\frac{5}{7})^{(8+9)}=(-\frac{5}{7})^{17}

Calculate the percent decrease 34,000 2,720
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Take 2,720/34,000=.0806. This means that 2,720 is 8.06% of the original number. In order to find the percentage of decrease, you take 100%-8.06%, which equals 91.94%. Your answer is 91.94%.

Write an equation of the line that passes through a pair of points (-5, -2), (4, 5)
PIT_PIT [208]
To find the equation of a line knowing two points it passes through, we must first find the slope and then substitute the x and y values to figure out the y intercept. 

First thing is to find the slope using the formula m = Δy ÷ Δx
m = 5 - (-2) ÷ 4 - (-5)

Now we simplify 
m = 7 ÷ 9 

Our equation so far is y = 7/9x + b. Now we can substitute the values of x and y from a point to figure out the answer. The equation here uses the point (4,5)

5 = 7/9 · 4 + b

Get b on one side
5 - 28/9 = b

Simplify
b = 1 + 8/9

That makes the equation of the line y = 7/9x + (1 + 8/9)

Like terms and unlike terms
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

In algebra, like terms are terms that have the same variables and powers. The coefficients do not need to match.

Unlike terms are two or more terms that are not like terms, i.e. they do not have the same variables or powers. The order of the variables does not matter unless there is a power. For example, 8xyz2 and −5xyz2 are like terms because they have the same variables and power while 3abc and 3ghi are unlike terms because they have different variables. Since the coefficient doesn't affect likeness, all

The lighthouse keeper that is at the top of a lighthouse that
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let θ be the angle of depression i.e the angle between the horizontal and the observer's line of sight.

tanθ= (Height of the light house)/(Horizontal distance of ship from the base of light house)

∴tanθ=88/1532=0.0574

∴θ=tan−1(0.0574)=3.290(2dp)
