pls help will give brainliest Rena used the steps below to evaluate the expression (StartFraction (x Superscript negative 3 Base

line) (y Superscript negative 2 Baseline) Over 2 (x Superscript 4 Baseline) (y superscript negative 4 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript negative 3, when x = negative 1 and y = 2. Step 1: Substitute x = negative 1 and y = 2 into the expression. (StartFraction (negative 1) Superscript negative 3 Baseline (2) Superscript negative 2 Baseline Over 2 (negative 1) Superscript 4 Baseline (2) superscript negative 4 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript negative 3 Step 2: Simplify the parentheses. (StartFraction (2) Superscript 4 Baseline Over 2 (negative 1) Superscript 4 Baseline (negative 1) cubed (2) squared EndFraction) Superscript negative 3 Baseline = (StartFraction (2) squared Over 2 (negative 1) Superscript 7 Baseline EndFraction) Superscript negative 3 Step 3: Evaluate the power to a power. StartFraction (2) Superscript negative 6 Baseline Over 2 Superscript negative 3 Baseline (negative 1) Superscript negative 21 baseline EndFraction Step 4: Use reciprocals and find the value. StartFraction 1 Over 2 cubed (2) Superscript 6 Baseline (negative 1) Superscript 21 Baseline EndFraction = StartFraction 1 Over 8 times 64 times (negative 1) EndFraction = Negative StartFraction 1 Over 512 EndFraction In which step did Rena make the first error?

Answer:

  First "order of operations" mistake: step 2

  First arithmetic mistake: step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

  \left(\dfrac{x^{-3}y^{-2}}{2x^4y^{-4}}\right)^{-3}

for x = -1 and y = 2.

Her work seems to be ...

<u>Step 1</u>

  \text{Substitute $x=-1$ and $y=2$ into the expression}\\\\\left(\dfrac{(-1)^{-3}2^{-2}}{2(-1)^42^{-4}}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{no error}

<u>Step 2</u>

  \text{Simplify the parentheses}\\\\\left(\dfrac{2^4}{2(-1)^4(-1)^32^2}\right)^{-3}=\left(\dfrac{2^2}{2(-1)^7}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{order of operations error}

<u>Step 3</u>

  \text{Evaluate the power to a power}\\\\\dfrac{2^{-6}}{2^{-3}(-1)^{21}}\qquad\text{no error}

<u>Step 4</u>

  \text{Use reciprocals and find the value}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^32^6(-1)^{21}}=\dfrac{1}{8\cdot 64\cdot (-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{512}\qquad\text{error: $2^3$ is used instead of $2^{-3}$}

_____

So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

  \left(\dfrac{-\dfrac{1}{4}}{2(1)\dfrac{1}{16}}\right)^{-3}=(-2)^{-3}\qquad\text{proper Step 2}

__

We expect your answer is supposed to be Step 4.

What where William total fixed variable expenses the first year of college
VARVARA [1.3K]

Since the details are not available, we have provided an overview of William's total fixed and variable expenses for the first year of college.

<h3>What are college costs?</h3>

There are five categories of college costs.

These college costs include tuition, room and board, books and supplies, personal expenses, and transportation.

Some of the college costs like tuition and room and board may be relatively fixed.

This leaves expenses like books and suppliers, personal expenses, and transportation relatively variable.

Thus, William needs to control his variable college costs so that they do not exceed the student loan.
