Property used: 'Power of a power'
We can raise a power to a power
(x^2)4=(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)=x^8
This is called the power of a power property and says that to find a power of a power you just have to multiply the exponents.
Answer:
integer = 5
rational number but not an integer - 3 and a 1/2
irrational number - it's the one with 11
The answer to this question is 7
<span>(2) y is the total cost, x is the number of months of service, $40 is the installation fee, and $90 is the service charge per month.</span>
y = 40 + 90x
y = total cost
x = number of months of service
40 = one time installation fee
90 = monthly service charge.
Let us assume that the number of months of service is 10 months. then, the total cost would be:
y = 40 + 90(10)
y = 40 + 900
y = 940
