One nice thing about this situation is that you’ve been given everything in the same base. To review a little on the laws of exponents, when you have two exponents with the same base being:

– Multiplied: Add their exponents
– Divided: Subtract their exponents

We can see that in both the numerator and denominator we have exponents *multiplied* together, and the product in the numerator is being *divided* by the product in the detonator, so that translates to *summing the exponents on the top and bottom and then finding their difference*. Let’s throw away the twos for a moment and just focus on the exponents. We have

[11/2 + (-7) + (-5)] - [3 + 1/2 + (-10)]

For convenience’s sake, I’m going to turn 11/2 into the mixed number 5 1/2. Summing the terms in the first brackets gives us

5 1/2 + (-7) + (-5) = - 1 1/2 + (-5) = -6 1/2

And summing the terms in the second:

3 + 1/2 + (-10) = 3 1/2 + (-10) = -6 1/2

Putting those both into our first question gives us -6 1/2 - (-6 1/2), which is 0, since any number minus itself gives us 0.

Now we can bring the 2 back into the mix. The 0 we found is the exponent the 2 is being raised to, so our answer is

2^0, which is just 1.

Use slopes and y-intercepts to determine if the lines 5x-5y=-2 and -x+2y=4

HACTEHA [7]

The given pair of lines are not perpendicular.

The line is a curve showing the shortest distance between 2 points.

5x - 5y = -2 - - - - - (1)
Transform the equation into standard form,
5x + 2 = 5y
y = 5x /5 + 2/5
y = x + 2/5

The slope of equation 1 is $m_1 = 1$ and intercept c = 2 / 5
