Exponents can be expressed in terms of quotient or fraction.
For example: x^6 can be expressed as x^8 / x^2 = x^8-2 = x^6.
From the question, 5^8 can be expressed as
5^10/5^2 = 5^8
(5^2)(5^8) / (5^2) = 5^8
Answer:
Yeah....true. I neither like answers (especially math answers) without explanation and that's why i mostly don't answer math questions cuz what if the answer is wrong?
and i donth know how to explain math properly so yeah if u donth know donth answer it save it for the smarter or the ones who knows the answer well.
i can understand ur situation well cuz i have experienced it :)
Answer:
-276
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll use the method of cofactors. Use the coefficient +6 for
9 2
8 10
This gives you one third of the solution: 6 {(9)·(10) - (8)(2) }, or 444.
Next, use the coefficient 9, taking care to change the sign to -9 as follows:
9 1
-9 | | = -9(90 - 8) = -9(82) = -738
8 10
Finally with +2 as y our coefficient, evaluate the cofactor
9 1
9 2
ending up with
+2(18-9) = +2(9) = 18
Finally add these three results together:
+444 - 738 + 18 = -276
This, the determinant, D, is -276 (the fourth answer choice)
