Following the generalized form that you wrote, you know that a negative exponent sends its base to the denominator (or numerator if it's in the denominator already). Or to put it formally as you wrote it, for any nonzero real number a and natural number n, <span>the negative rule of exponents states that </span>

Answer:
the displayed green time for the traffic movement is 30 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Cycle length; C = 70 seconds
Displayed all-red time; AR = 2 seconds
Displayed yellow time; Y = 5 seconds
Effective red time; r = 37 seconds
total lost time per cycle; = 4 seconds
the displayed green time for the traffic movement; G = ?
First we determine the Effective green time ( g );
Effective red time; r = Cycle length; C - Effective green time ( g )
so,
Effective green time ( g ) = C - r
we substitute
Effective green time ( g ) = 70 seconds - 37 seconds
Effective green time ( g ) = 33 seconds
Now,
Effective green time ( g ) = displayed green time; G + Displayed yellow time; Y + Displayed all-red time; AR - total lost time per cycle;
i.e
g = G + Y + AR -
we substitute
33 = G + 5 + 2 - 4
33 = G + 3
G = 33 - 3
G = 30 seconds
Therefore, the displayed green time for the traffic movement is 30 seconds
