How to simplify an expression with a negative exponent

Mathematics
1 answer:
svetlana [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An negative exponent seems hard, but it really isn't!

Let's say you have 2^{-3}

All you do is inverse the expression, or find the reciprocal. When you do this the exponent changes to positive .  

\frac{1}{2^{3} }

2^{3} simplifies into 8. So, the result is

\frac{1}{8}

Hope this helps! Please mark as brainliest, thanks!

The average number of calories in a 1.5-ounce chocolate bar is 225. Suppose that the distribution of calories is approximately n
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected chocolate bar will have a. Between 200 and 220 calories will be 0.3023

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

True mean=225

S.D=10

X1=200 and X2=220

To Find:

P(X1<x<X2)

Solution:

<em>BY using Z-table for probability and Z-score we can proceed.</em>

So

For 200 calories Z will be ,

Z=(sample mean -true mean)/S.D

=200-225/10

=-25/10

=-2.5

For 220 calories Z will be ,

Z=220-225/10

=-5/10

=-0.5

So required probability will be

P(-2.5

=P(-2.5

=P(0>z>2.5)-P(0>z>0.5)

=0.4938-0.1915

=0.3023

Choose the correct simplification of the expression 16 over n to the negative third power. n to the third power over 16 16 over
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

{16n}^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify:

\frac{16}{ {n}^{ - 3} }

To simplify this, we need to write the negative index as positive.

So we use the property,

\frac{1}{ {a}^{ - n} }  =  {a}^{n}

When we apply this property, we get:

\frac{16}{ {n}^{ - 3} }  = \: 16 \times \frac{1}{ {n}^{ - 3} }  =16 {n}^{3}

Therefore the fourth option is correct.
