first the square root of 4 is 2 so we can sub that in.
now we have 2(2*2)^-2.
2 * 2 of course is 4
with 2(4)^-2, keep in mind that negative exponents just mean to "flip" the number and turn the exponents positive.
so 4^-2 is the same as 1/4^2 or 1/16.
finally 1/16 * 2 = 2/16. 2/16 simplified is 1/8.
Answer:
it wants you to factor/solve for 36a^4 b^10 -81a^18 B^20 using those strategies, so i believe you're already done.
Step-by-step explanation:
IM NOT A EXPERT THOUGH
Lets plug in the answer choices and see which one works
A. x = -6
| -6 | < 3
6 < 3
False, so A is not the answer
B. x = -5
| -5 | < 3
5 < 3
False, so B isn't the answer
C. x = -1
| -1 | < 3
1 < 3
True, so C is the answer.
But lets just check D to make sure C is the answer.
D. x = 2
| 2 | < 3
2 < 3
False, so D isn't the answer either.
C is your answer :)
This is easy once you look at it you just have to move the decimal 7 places and you'll get 24,000,000
