(-4)^2
A negative base raised to an even power gives us a positive so
4^2
4x4=16
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:

we start simplifying by removing the parenthesis
Multiply the exponents inside the the parenthesis
3^4 * 2^4

Now we apply exponential property
a^m * a^n = a^ (m+n)
3^4 * 3^-3 = 3^ (4-3) = 3^1
3 or 3^1 are same

3^1 at the top and bottom so we cancel it out
\frac{2^4}{2^3}
we apply log property . a^m / a^n = a^m-n
Now subtract the exponents
2^(4-3) = 2^1 = 2
47x > = 209....with x being number of lawns mowed
x > = 209 / 47
x > = 4.45....so he would have to mow at least 4.45 lawns.....but if u cant mow part of the lawn and u have to mow the entire lawn, the it would be at least 5 full lawns
I think if I do this correctly, the answer is x<-1
