Answer:
5^ -7 =1 / 5^7
Step-by-step explanation:
(5^2)-^2/ 5^3
We know that a^b^c = a^(b*c)
(5^2)-^2 = 5^(2*-2) = 5^-4
5^-4/ 5^3
We know that a^b /a^c = a^ (b-c)
5 ^ (-4-3)
5^ -7
If we don't want to use negative exponents
We know that a^ -b = 1/ a^b
1 / 5^7
it is a grade point average
Answer:
I might think 124 is the answer
The Lagrangian is

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)


for each
.
Let
be the sum of all the multipliers
,

We notice that

so that

We know that
, so

Solving the first
equations for
gives

and in particular

It follows that

which gives us

That is, we've found two critical points,

At the critical point with positive signs,
attains a maximum value of

and at the other, a minimum value of
