Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways to go at this. Perhaps the simplest is to put the expression into your calculator.
__
Using the rules of exponents, you recognize ...
a^-b = 1/a^b
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
__
So, we can rewrite the expression to be ...

Answer:
2. On a coordinate plane, a hyperbola is shown. One curve opens up and to the right in quadrants 1 and 4, and the other curve opens up and to the left in quadrants 2 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Technically, the curve is not a hyperbola. A hyperbola is of the form 1/x; this one is of the form 1/x².
The function can be simplified to ...
f(x) = 5/x² -5
which is a "hyperbola" with a vertical asymptote at x=0 and a vertical translation of -5 units to bring parts of it into the 3rd and 4th quadrants.
