Start by distributing the exponent to each of the terms in 
. This will become 
, and 
. Now, the expression is:
.
We can now simplify the bottom to read: 
because when multiplying variables raised to an exponent, we add the exponents. The expression now looks like:
The 2/8 simplifies to 1/4:
Now, we have two u terms on the top and bottom. When dividing variables raised to an exponent, we subtract the exponents. However, since 3-5=-2, the term will be on the bottom to avoid the negative exponent. The final answer is:
Hope this makes sense!!
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2+b^2=c^2
15^2+b^2=25^2
225+b^2=625
b^2=400
Square root of 400 is 20
.05 is larger than .005 because larger numbers are always to the left and smaller numbers are always to the right
It is the exact opposite of an independent clause. It cannot stand alone as a sentence.
