Answer:
a) 1/27
b) 16
c) 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 
One of the properties of the exponents tells us that when we have a negative exponent we can express it in terms of its positive exponent by turning it into the denominator (and changing its sign), so we would have:

And now, solving for x = 9 we have:

b) 
This is already a positive rational exponent so we are just going to substitute the value of y = 8 into the expression

c) 
Using the same property we used in a) we have:

And now, solving for z = 16 we have:

Answer: 60

Answer:
c. 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculation to determine Which of the following is the resulting MAD value that can be computed from this data
Using this formula
MAD= [ABS( Year 1 actual unit demand - Forecast) + ABS (Year 2 actual unit demand - Forecast) + ABS (Year 3 actual unit demand - Forecast) + ABS (Year 4 actual unit demand - Forecast)]/ Number of years
Let plug in the formula
MAD = [ABS(100 - 120) + ABS (105 - 120) + ABS (135 - 120) + ABS (150 - 120)]/4
MAD =(ABS 20) + (ABS 15) + (ABS 15) + (ABS 30)/4
MAD= 80/4
MAD=20
Therefore the resulting MAD value that can be computed from this data is 20
