Answer:
Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that you wanted to know what 
is.
To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So becomes 
.
This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So 
would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase to 
, you would have to multiply a with two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease to 
, you would have to divide by a 3 times.
If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times: 
means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
The first one
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe it is the first option, as you can see that, on the right hand side, 4a was multiplied to the first term to make a common denominator. I'm sorry if it is wrong, and I hope this helped.
Answer:
n<2
Step-by-step explanation:
6.2n<2n+8.4
Move variable to the left hand side and change its sign
6.2n - 2n < 8.4
Combine like terms
4.2n < 8.4
divide both side by 4.2
n < 2
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is A, reason why is because if you add a 0 to the end of the number 0.65, the problem would then say; 0.193 < 0.650. So, if you take off the 0. on the front of both decimals it would then say 193 < 650 and 650 is greater than 193.
