<u>Given</u>:
The given expression is 
We need to determine how the expression can be simplified.
<u>Simplifying the expression:</u>
Let us determine how the expression can be simplified.
The expression is given by
Applying the exponent rule that 
in the above expression, we get;
Adding the exponents, we get;
Again, applying the exponent rule 
, we get;
Thus, the simplified expression is 
Hence, the expression is simplified by adding the exponents and keep the same base. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.
Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.
As you can see, in the table of the first function, f(2) = 18, and in the table of the second function g(2) = 18. Then, for x = 2, f(x) = g(x). and x =2 is the solution of the equation.
Answer: x = 2.
Answer:
The amount that must be deposited is $ 19973.87.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a relation between future value present value as:
F= P 
F=future value
P=present value
r=rate (as a decimal)
n=number of compounding periods per year
t=number of years
Now,
assume rate as 8%
35000= P 
or, 35000= P × 
or, P = 
or, P = $ 19973.87
So you must deposit $ 19973.87 today.
Answer:
-9
Step-by-step explanation:
b² - c²
= 4² - (-5)²
= 16 - 25
= -9
