Answer:
x1= -7 , x2 = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = 37 +12
x^2 = 49
x = -7 or 7
When you multiply a same number but with different powers, you can simply add the powers together. So, in your question, add the powers -1 and -7 together.
7^(-1) x 7^(-7) = 7^(-8)
When you divide a same number but with different powers, you subtract the power at the top with the power from the denominator. So, -8 - (-7) = -1.
7^(-8) / 7^(-7) = 7^(-1)
So your answer would be 7^(-1).
Hopefully my explanation was clear?
Answer:
C.
Since the square root of 20 is around 4.5, we know that ≈4.5 is almost at the half mark between 4 and 5 on the number line.
