Your answer is the first option, -10

Laws of Indices states that a^b x a^c = a^(b + c), therefore 9^-8 x 9^-2 = 9^(-8 - 2) = 9^-10

Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

9^-8 x 9^-2 = a^b

We know that x^y * x^z = x^(y+z)

9^-8 x 9^-2 = 9^(-8+-2) = 9^(-10)

a= 9

b = -10

Peter is trying to set a new record for pizza deliveries. His previous record is 20 pizzas in one hour. He has already delivered

Arlecino [84]

We know that
Peter has already delivered 2 pizzas in 5 minutes
so
1 hour-------> 60 minutes
time left------> 60 minutes - 5 minutes--------> 55 minutes

pizzas to deliver to beat his previous record----------> 20-2------> 18 pizzas

therefore
in the next 55 minutes

if the

average per minute = (18/55) pizzas /minute
Pete beat his previous record

average per minute > (18/55) pizzas /minute
Pete overcome the previous record

average per minute < (18/55) pizzas /minute
Pete will not match the previous record
