Answer:
x(3)=72
Step-by-step explanation:
-27+27+72=72
I worked the problem by hand. First I used the equation y=mx+b to find the rule for the function. To find m which is the same as the slope you use the change in y divided by the change in x. Or the change in output divided by the change in input. The two points or coordinates used were (-2,-4) and (1,-1). Once you have the slope you use y=mx+b and substitude y by any value of y (-4 or -1) and m is the slope calculated and x would be the corresponding x to the y value used (if -4 was chosen for y then -2 would be used for x). This will be used to calculate b.
-----> A<span>ny number at all with a 0 exponent is 1; anything with a -ve exponent means "1 over" i.e. 5^-1 means 1/5, 23^-4 means 1/23^4 etc.
</span>----->A number to the power of zero is always 1
<span>A number to the power of a negative number such as 2^-4 is always the reciprocal to the power of 4 so 2^-4 is in fact (1/2) ^4 = 1/2^4 </span>
<span>3^-3/4 is (1/3)^3/4 </span>
<span>(4/9)^-3/5 is (9/4)^3/5
</span>
--->Any number with a zero exponent is equal to 1. A number n to the -x is equal to 1/(n^x)<span>
To simplify a negative exponent expression , I attached an example it is easier that way :)
Hope that helps.xoxo
