For numbers 9 and 10, we are dealing with negative exponents.
The rule of exponents states that any quantity b, taken to the power -n, equals the reciprocal of b, taken to the nth power.
Example: x⁻³ = 1 / x³
Number 9: ( 3 / y² ) ⁻³
Step 1: take the reciprocal:
( 3 / y² ) ⁻³ = ( y² / 3 ) ³
Step 2: distribute the exponent
( y² / 3 ) ³ = y⁶ / 27
Try to do number 10 on your own. If you have any questions, comment.
Yes it’s two!!! I think so!!
Answer:
9x
Step-by-step explanation:
(x² + 2x) - (x² - 7x) ← distribute parenthesis
= x² + 2x - x² + 7x ← collect like terms
= 9x
=(-24÷6)×(-2)+7
=(-3×-2)+7
=6+7
=13
