Could someone help me? Why does x^4 * x^-4 = 1?

Mathematics

Alika [10]2 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

when you have a negative exponent, you are going to have a fraction. Example: 2^4 * 2^-4= 2^4 is 16 2^-4 is 1/16.

You get the 16 but because it was a negative exponent, the 16 goes on the bottom. 16 as a fraction is 16/1.

When you multiply 16/1 and 1/16. It comes up to 16/16 or 1.

Does this help?

Answer:

below

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the product rule of exponents to solve [ x^y * x^z = x^y+z ].

x^4 * x^-4 = 1

x^4+(-4) = 1

x^0 = 1

1 = 1

Best of Luck!

The sum of two numbers is -9. The difference of the two numbers is -41. What are the two numbers?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

the two numbers are 16 and -25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

x+y=-9

x-y=-41

By substitution

y=-9-x

x-(-9-x)=-41

x+9+x=-41

2x=-41-9

2x=-50

x=-25

y=-9-(-25)

y=16

Use the figure to find the measure of angle 1. *
QveST [7]

Answer:  angle 1 = 110 degrees

This is because angle 1 and the red 110 degree angle are corresponding angles.

They correspond to one another due to the fact they are both in the southwest corner of each 4-corner angle configuration (which is the result of crossing two lines)

Corresponding angles are congruent only when we have parallel lines like this.
