Answer:

n=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

You must multiply $x^{-8}*x^{3}$ . The laws of exponents state that when multiplying exponents of the same base, you can just add the exponents and raise the base to the sum of the exponents. So, $x^{-8}*x^{3}=x^{(-8+3)}=x^{-5}$ . Since our end product is $x^{-5}$ , n is equal to -5.

Let f(x)=5/x and g(x) =2x^2+5x. What two numbers are not in the domain of F o G?

expeople1 [14]

F(x)=5/x
g(x)=2(x^2)+5x
f(x) has a domain of all real numbers excluding zero
g(x) has a domain of all real numbers
fog(x)=5/(2(x^2)+5x)
fog(x)=5/(x(2x+5))
fog(x) has a domain that excludes both zero and -5/2

I suspect that you might mean 'crimes' and 'police'. If that's the case,
then what we have here is a sentence that has not been proofread
for errors, and doesn't ask any question. I'm not going to worry about it.
