1. 
2. 
<u>QUESTION 1</u>
The first sentence is
.
Recall that;

We simplify the left hand side by applying this property to get;
.
.
We now rewrite the right hand side too in an index form to obtain;

We now equate the exponents to get;
.

.
<u>QUESTION 2</u>
The second sentence is 
We simplify the left hand side first to get;


We now rewrite the left hand side too in index form to obtain;

We equate the exponents to get;

This implies that;

or

It should be the first one since the x and y cross each other out and leave only =-10
Answer:
D. 
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of a line is given by:

The line given to us has equation;
.
The slope of this line is -4. The of the line perpendicular to this line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.
Our slope of interest is therefore; 
Since the point goes through (-2,7), we have
.
We plug in the slope and the point into the point-slope formula to obain;

The required equation is:

Answer:
1,250 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2,000 in 1 ton, so 5 * 2,000 = 10,000 lbs weight limit for the bridge.
10,000-8750 = 1,250 lbs can be added to the truck before they reach the bridge weight limit.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Define word "zeros"
zeros = x-intercepts
2. Find x-intercepts
(-2, 0) and (-4, 0)
x-intercepts = -2, -4 or -4, -2
