1. You can expand the coefficients to yield 6, and add the powers since the bases are the same (ie A)
2. y⁻² can also be rewritten as 1/y², so it becomes 1/y² · 1/y⁵ = 1/y⁷ (ie C)
3. Only the x is affected by the power.
4. y = 3·5ˣ doesn't change in slope, so it essentially is similar to a 5ˣ graph.
5. Should be pretty straight forward. 6. Should be pretty straight forward. 7. Should be pretty straight forward.
8. Since x is the length of the border, calculate the area of the frame and subtract that from the area of the square painting. (Remember that the length of the square painting is x - 8, not x - 4)
9. Should be pretty straight forward. 11 - 25 are pretty much similar to each other. If you have trouble, let me know and I'll walk you through it.
