Answer:

c. -1.5 < -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a. -1.5 > 0.5 . . . . false

b. -0.5 > 0 . . . . . false

c. -1.5 < -0.5 . . . TRUE

d. 1/2 > 0.5 . . . . false (these are the same number) 1/2 = 0.5

_____

In order on the number line from left to right, you will see ...

(left end) ... -1.5 ... -0.5 ... 0 ... 0.5 ... (right end)

The inequality relation appropriate to these is ...

(number on the left) < (number on the right)

Of course, this can be swapped around so you have ...

(number on the right) > (number on the left)

4^2/4^6 Options: 4^-3 4^3 4^-4 4^4

Vlad [161]

Hello!

The rule regarding the division of exponents states the following:

$\frac{ B^{x} }{ B^{y} }$ = $B^{x-y}$

Insert any known values into the formula above:

$\frac{ 4^{2} }{ 4^{6} }$ = $4^{2-6}$

Simplify the expression:

$4^{2-6}$ = $4^{-4}$

We have now proven that $\frac{ 4^{2} }{ 4^{6} }$ is equal to $4^{-4}$ .

I hope this helps!
