Answer:
Property : a^-b = 1/a^b
Using this property, we can rewrite the expression using positive exponents :

Answer:
- 3. line y=x
- 4. 10 units to the right and 4 units up
Step-by-step explanation:
In the attached diagram, the green polygon A"B"C" is the reflection of ABC across the line y=x. Then the purple polygon A'B'C' is the translation of A"B"C" 10 units to the right and 4 units up.
_____
You can tell a reflection is involved, because the clockwise order of A, B, C in the original is reversed to counterclockwise in A'B'C'. The left-right horizontal line AC becomes the down-up vertical line A'C', so you know the reflection is across the line y=x, and not the line y=-x.
After the reflection, point A" is located at (2, -6), so moving it to A'(12, -2) entails a translation 10 units right and 4 units up.
When you add and subtract be sure that the two fractions have the same denomination, and then add/subtract the numerators. I always do cross multiplication of the two fractions to obtain the same denominators-although there are various ways to do this.
Multiplying fractions is simply straight across.
Dividing fractions:
Keep, change, flip.
Keep the first fraction the same, change the sign to its opposite (ex:division flips to multiplication), and flip the numerator and the denominator of the second fraction. Then, preform the arithmetic from your "new" problem.
we have

To find the roots of g(x)
Find the roots of the first term and then find the roots of the second term
Step 1
Find the roots of the first term

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side


Rewrite as perfect squares

Square root both sides




so the factored form of the first term is

Step 2
Find the roots of the second term

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side


Rewrite as perfect squares

Remember that

Square root both sides




so the factored form of the second term is

Step 3
Substitute the factored form of the first and second term in g(x)

therefore
the answer is
the roots are
