So the rule with multiplying exponents of the same base is
. Apply this rule here:

Next, the rule with converting negative exponents into positive ones is
. Apply this rule here:

<u>Your final answer is 1/49.</u>

So an additional rule when it comes to exponents is ![x^{\frac{m}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{x^m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bn%7D%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5Em%7D%20)
In this case, your fractional exponent, x^9/7, would be converted to
. However, I had just realized you can further expand this.
Remember the rule I had mentioned earlier about multiplying exponents of the same base? Well, you can apply it here:
![\sqrt[7]{x^9}=\sqrt[7]{x^7*x^2}=x\sqrt[7]{x^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7Bx%5E9%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7Bx%5E7%2Ax%5E2%7D%3Dx%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D%20)
Your final answer would be ![x\sqrt[7]{x^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D%20)
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
f(x) = -5/9 x + 5 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
f(2)=4 and f(−7)=9 means the line pass through (2,4) and (- 7,9)
f(x) = mx + b
m = (y-y') / (x-x') = (9 - 4) / (- 7 - 2) = - 5/9
for (2,4) : b = f(x) - mx = y - mx = 4 - (- 5/9) x 2 = 4 + 10/9 = 46/9 = 5 1/9
f(x) = -5/9 x + 5 1/9
check for (-7, 9) f(-7) = (-5/9) * (-7) + 5 1/9 = 35/9 + 46/9 = 81/9 = 9
