An exponent signifies repeated multiplication.
the factor x is repeated 3 times
Exponents can be added and subtracted to express the effects of multiplication and division.

The addition and subtraction of exponents works the same even when there are more denominator factors than numerator factors.

That is, a negative numerator exponent is the same as a positive denominator exponent and vice versa. You can move a factor with an exponent from denominator to numerator and change the sign of the exponent, and vice versa.
Your expression has 3 in the denominator with a negative exponent. It can be moved to the numerator and the exponent changed to positive:

(15-9)*5= 30
The answer is 30
Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
a.

Taking both sides log

Using identity:

Using identity:


b.
We know that

Using identity

c.

Substitute the values then we get

By using 
Hence, 
The formula to find the amount is
here A is amount
P is the principal
'r' is the rate of interest
n is the number of years.
Case 1.
Stevan invests
P =$ 20,000
r = 3% = 0.03
n = 10 years
Hence the interest earned
= A - P = 26878.33 - 20000 = $6878.33
Case 2.
Evan invests
P = $10,000
r = 7% = 0.07
n = 7 years
Hence the interest earned
= A - P = 16057.81 - 10000 = 6057.81
Difference in the interest = 6878.33 - 6057.81 = $820.52
Rounded to the nearest dollar difference in interest = $821
