X is 3 y is 4 hope this helps :)
Negative exponents mean that you flip the number upside down
so -7^-2 would become 1/-7^2
-7^2 would be 49
so the answer is <em>1/49</em>
Answer:
<em>B. (U+V)(U-V)</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Factoring</u>
The given expression is:

It should be noted that both terms are perfect squares:


Since it's a difference of squares, we need to use the following pattern to factor the required expression:

Thus, the answer is
B. (U+V)(U-V)

On the unit cirlce, the cosine of an angle is negative whenever the angle falls in the interval

.
If you recall your special triangles, this cosine occurs for angles of

and

.
More generally, this occurs for

and

, where

is an integer.
