Step-by-step explanation:
4^5 (-2)^9/4^8 (-2)^3
= 4^(5 - 8) (-2^(9 - 3))
= 4^-3 (-2^6)
= (-2)^6/4^3
1). (-2)^a/4^b
a = 6, b = 3
2). c/d
c = -2, d = 4
Answer:
is an even function.
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall when it means when a function is even or odd. An even function has the following property:

And an odd function has the following property:

So, let's test some values for cos(x).
Let's use π/3:

From the unit circle, was can see that this is 1/2 (refer to the x-coordinate).
Now, let's find -π/3. This is the same as 5π/3. Thus:

And again from the unit circle, we can see that this is 1/2.
Therefore, despite the negative, the function outputs the same value.
Cosine is an even function.
Notes:
Cosine is an even function and sine is an odd function. It's helpful to remember these as they can help you solve some trig problems!
Answer:
x² - 2x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The notation (f·g)(x) means to multiply the two functions. Use the distributive property to simplify.
(f·g)(x) = (x+2)(x-4) = x² + 2x - 4x - 8 = x² - 2x - 8
Answer:
1,820 trout
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion where x is the number of trout in the lake:
= 
Cross multiply and solve for x:
25x = 45,500
x = 1820
So, you could expect 1,820 trout to be in the lake.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets start by plugging in our (a) value
a^2 + 5a + 4
(-5)^2 + 5(-5) +4
25 - 25 + 4
0 + 4
4 is your final answer!
