When you multiply a base with an exponent by a base with an exponent, you add the exponents together. (But you can only combine the exponents when the bases are the same)

For example:

(x^3)y^2=x^3y^2  (can't combine the exponents because they have different bases of x and y)

x^1(x^2)=x^{(1+2)}=x^3

2^2(2^2)=2^{(2+2)}=2^4=16

5^{(\frac{-5}{2} )}*5^{(\frac{9}{2} )}=5^{(\frac{-5+9}{2} )}=5^{(\frac{4}{2} )}=5^2=25    Your answer is C

Evaluate the piecewise function at the given values of the independent variable
snow_lady [41]
A) For f(-1) we use the part of the piecewise function for when x < 0 because -1 < 0. Plug in -1 for x:

2(-1) + 3 = 1

b) For f(0), we use the part for when x \geq 0.

4(0) + 5 = 5

c) For f(2) we use the part for when x \geq 0.

4(2) + 5 = 13

Given that g(y) = y2 - 1, find g(a - 1).<br>Give your answer in its simplest form.​
AlekseyPX

Answer:

a^2 - 2a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Replace the y in g(y) by a - 1 and simplify.

g(a-1) = (a - 1)^2 - 1

= a^2 - 2a + 1 - 1

= a^2 - 2a.
