A) as the exponent decreases by one, the number is divided by 5
B) as the exponent decreases by one, the number is divided by 4
C) as the exponent decreases by one, the number is divided by 3
D) 4⁰ = 4 ÷ 4 = 1
4⁻¹ = 1 ÷ 4 = 
4⁻² = ÷ 4 = 
E) 3⁰ = 3 ÷ 3 = 1
3⁻¹ = 1 ÷ 3 = 
3⁻² = ÷ 3 = 
Answer:
b=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
-7+b=-8
Add 7 to each side to isolate b
-7+7+b=-8+7
b = -1
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
=> 9/72 = 3x-20/56
=> 9×45/72 = 3x-20
=> 27/3 = x
=> x = 7
Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b = -1 and a = -3
The average rate of change = 
f(b) = f(-1) = 3(-1)^2 - 5 = 3 - 5 = -2
f(a) = f(-3) = 3(-3)^2 - 5 =27 - 5 = 22
f(b) - f(a) = -2 - 22 = -24
b - a = -1 + 3 = 2
= -24/2 = -12
Step-by-step explanation:
2 (x-3)-4 (x+3)
