Examples :
(-2)^3 = (-2)(-2)(-2) = - 8
(-3)^4 = (-3)(-3)(-3)(-3) = 81
(-1)^5 = (-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1) = -1
** if the exponent is an even number, the answer will be positive. if the exponent is an odd number, then the answer will be negative
** but keep in mind....if the negative is not included with the base..
-(5^2) = - 25....but (-5^2) = 25
5a.
18/9 = 12/x
18x = 12(9)...cross multiply
18x = 108
x=108/18
x=6
Answer:
f = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the method of cross- multiplication
= 
⇒ ad = bc, thus
20f = 5(f + 3) ← distribute
20f = 5f + 15 ( subtract 5f from both sides )
15f = 15 ( divide both sides by 15 )
f = 1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2 + 2x^2 - 5x + 7x + 6 - 9
5x^2 + 2x - 3
