Answer:
1. 7 > 4 1/2 I'm only gonna do page one cause it's easy
2. 16 > 0
3. 3 1/2 < 5 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Here we will use the relationships:



And a number:

is between 0 and 1 if a is positive and larger than 1, and n is negative.
if a is positive and 0 < a < 1, then we need to have n positive such that:
0 < a^n < 1
A) 
This is between zero and 1,
B) 
This is greater than 1, because the exponent is positive.
C) 
Because a is smaller than 1, and the exponent is positive, then the expression is between 0 and 1.
D) 
The exponent is negative (and pair) then the expression is between 0 and 1.
Remember that when the exponent is pair, we always have that:
(-N)^m = (N)^m
So (-7)^-2 = 7^-2
The answer is 3x^2 + 19x - 12.
check the picture below.
recall that in a square, all four sides are equal, therefore b = a.
so the perimeter is then 6√2 + 6√2 + 6√2 + 6√2, or 24√2.
