Answer:
(a) 64/25
Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant properties of exponents are ...
a^0 = 1 . . . . a ≠ 0
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
(ab)^c = (a^c)(b^c)
__
Your expression simplifies to ...
Answer:
81 books
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide 731 into 9 you'll get 81.2
so that means you have 2 books left over that wont be on the shelf
so you'll have to round to 81
Remember.
positive number x positive number = positive number
positive number x negative number = negative number
negative number x positive number = negative number
negative number x negative number = positive number
So if both numbers have the same sign, either both positive or both negative, then the product will be positive.

Answer: 12 inches</h3>
=============================================================
Explanation:
Notice the double tickmarks on segments WZ and ZY. This tells us the two segments are the same length. Let's say they are m units long, where m is a placeholder for a positive number.
That would mean m+m = 2m represents the length of segment WY, but that's equal to 10 as the diagram shows. We have 2m = 10 lead to m = 5 after dividing both sides by 2.
We've shown that WZ and ZY are 5 units long each. In short, we just cut that length of 10 in half.
-----------------------------------
Let's focus on triangle XYZ. This is a right triangle with legs XZ = unknown and ZY = 5. The hypotenuse is XY = 13.
We'll use the pythagorean theorem to find XZ
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(XZ)^2 + (ZY)^2 = (XY)^2
(XZ)^2 + (5)^2 = (13)^2
(XZ)^2 + 25 = 169
(XZ)^2 = 169-25
(XZ)^2 = 144
XZ = sqrt(144)
XZ = 12
Segment XZ is 12 inches long.
