Ahh yes, negative exponents always give us a scare once and a while. All the negative means is to flip the position of its base. For instance, if x has a negative exponent and x in the denominator, all you would have to do is move x to the numerator with the same power (except it's no longer negative). Before we substitute x and all the other variables which the values given, let's eliminate the negatives first.
After flipping positions/eliminating the negative exponents it should look like this:

which simplifies to

now that everything is simplified, and all negative exponents are eliminated we can substitute x with 2, and y with (-4).

which simplifies to

Final Answer: - \frac{1}{32} [/tex]
Area for a triangle is (1/2) bh or bh/2
So using this info, b = 1.5 m and h = x and A = 1.5 m^2
A = bh/2
1.5 = 1.5x/2
Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of fraction ... 3 = 1.5x
Divide both sides by 1.5 ... 2 = x so x= 1.5 m
