Negative exponents mean that the base is on the wrong side of the fraction line. For example, x^-2 is the same as 1/x^2. In this example, 1/2^-2 would be 2.
2/1^2 = 2
Answer:
a=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 +b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
a^2 +15^2 = 17^2
a^2 +225 = 289
Subtract 225 from each side
a^2 +225-225=289-225
a^2 = 64
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(64)
a = 8
Answer:
-6 and 1
Step-by-step explanation:
If you separate the different powers (^), you have -m^3 - 5m^3 and -m^2 + 2m^2.
-m^3 - 5m^3 = -6m^3
-m^2 + 2m^2 = m^2 or 1m^2
Answer:
