Simplify the expression.<br><br><br> Write your answer without negative exponents.
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

-5/ (x^19 * y^12)

Step-by-step explanation:

-15x^-10 * y ^ -3 * x^-9 * y^-9/3 (It's writing it like this.)

15 and 3 have a GCF of 3.

-5x^-10 * y^-3 * x^-9 * y^-9/1

Reduce similar occurrences. *twice in a row*

-5x^(-10 + (-9)) * y^(-3 + (-9))/1

Remove extra signs *twice in a row*

-5x^(-10 - 9) * y^(-3 - 9)/1

Remove extraneous 1.

-5x^(-10 - 9) * y^(-3 - 9)

Add integers.

-5x^-19 * y^-12

Negative powers change multiplication to division.

-5 / (x^19 * y^12) is the final answer.

Even with that, the simplified answer wouldn't have negative exponents because of the negative powers rule.

When determining if you have a perfect square trinomial, what must the first and third term be?
cricket20 [7]

The expansion of a perfect square is

(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2

In words, the square of a sum of two terms is the sum of the squares of the two terms (a^2 and b^2), plus twice the product of the two terms (2ab)

So, when determining if you have a perfect square trinomial, you should have two perfect squares. Note that they don't have to be the first and third term, since you can rearrange terms as you prefer.

Match the following items by evaluating the expression for x = -7. x-2 x-1 x0 x1 x2
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

{x}^{ - 2}  =  \frac{1}{ {x}^{2} }  \:  \: –> {7}^{ - 2}  =  \frac{1}{ {7}^{2} }  =  \frac{ 1}{49}  \\  \\  {x}^{ - 1}  =  \frac{1}{ {x}^{1} }   \: –>  {7}^{ - 1}  =  \frac{1}{ {7}^{1} } =  \frac{1}{7}  \\  \\  {x}^{0} –> {7}^{0}   = 1 \\  \\  {x}^{1}  –> {7}^{1}  = 7 \\  \\  {x}^{2}  –> {7}^{2}  = 49
