Answer:

$\large\boxed{x^{-10}y^8=\dfrac{y^8}{x^{10}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(\dfrac{x^{-4}y}{x^{-9}y^5}\right)^{-2}\qquad\text{use}\ \dfrac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}\\\\\left(x^{-4-(-9)}y^{1-5}\right)^{-2}=(x^5y^{-4})^{-2}\qquad\text{use}\ (ab)^n=a^nb^n\ \text{and}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\=(x^5)^{-2}(y^{-4})^{-2}=x^{(5)(-2)}y^{(-4)(-2)}=x^{-10}y^8\qquad\text{use}\ a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\\\\=\dfrac{y^8}{x^{10}}$

Charles will babysit for up to 4 hours and charges $7 per hour. Write a function in function notation for this situation.

I am Lyosha [343]

Assume Charles charges $7*3=$21 if he babysits for 2,5 hours (that is 2 and a half hours).

That is we are not considering Charles babysitting exactly 1, 2, 3 or 4 hours, but also in between times.

then we can write the following piecewise function to describe the situation:

f is a function from (0, 4] to {$7, $14, $21, $28}

$f(x)=\begin{cases} 
 \$7 & if \enspace \enspace x\leq 1 \\
 \$14 & if \enspace \enspace 1\ \textless \ x\leq 2 \\
 \$21 & if \enspace\enspace 2\ \textless \ x\leq 3 \\
 \$28 & if \enspace\enspace 3\ \textless \ x\leq 4 \
 \end{cases}$

Drag values to complete each equation.

Answer:

1. A. 1

2. D. $17^9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties used:

Power of a Power Property
Product Property
Quotient Property
Zero Exponent Property

1. First, let's deal with the numerator.

$(17^3)^6$ can be turned into $17^1^8$ by using the Power of a Power Property.

And then use the Product Property, $(17^1^8)(17^-^1^0) = 17^8$

So now, our fraction is this: $\frac{17^8}{17^8}$

All number over itself in a fraction is equal to 1. But you can also do this the mathmatic way using the Quotient Property: $\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^m^-^n$ or $\frac{1}{a^(^n^-^m^)}$ . Which then you plug the numbers in: $\frac{17^8}{17^8} = 17^8^-^8 = 17^0$ . And since we know that in Zero Exponent Property: $a^0 = 1$ , we can see that $17^0 = 1$ . So either way, we get 1.
