B and c are the factors because they make the product
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance (d) using the distance formula
d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 1)
d = 
= 
= 
=
≈ 9.85 ( to 2 dec. places )
Answer:
256
Step-by-step explanation:
A calculator works well for this.
_____
None of the minus signs are subject to the exponents (because they are not in parentheses, as (-1)^5, for example. Since there are an even number of them in the product, their product is +1 and they can be ignored.
1 to any power is still 1, so the factors (1^n) can be ignored.
After you ignore all of the things that can be ignored, your problem simplifies to ...
(2^2)(2^-3)^-2
The rules of exponents applicable to this are ...
(a^b)^c = a^(b·c)
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
Then your product simplifies to ...
(2^2)(2^((-3)(-2)) = (2^2)(2^6)
= 2^(2+6)
= 2^8 = 256
