The correct numbers to use in solving problems about
spans of time like B.C. and A.D. should be “integers”.
Integers are whole numbers (not a fractional number or not a decimal
number) which can take a value of negative, zero, or positive number. Example
of integers would be -1, 0 and 1.
<span>In calculations, the time period would be on the x-axis. Since
B.C. and A.D. are two different spans of time, therefore in the calculations,
the date of BC should be negative (negative x-axis) while the date of AD should
be positive (positive x-axis). This would place the origin as the common
reference.</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify recall exponent rules:
1. An exponent is only a short cut for multiplication. It simplifies how we write the expression.
2. When we multiply terms with the same bases, we add exponents.
3. When we divide terms with the same bases, we subtract exponents.
4. When we have a base to the exponent of 0, it is 1.
5. A negative exponent creates a fraction.
6. When we raise an exponent to an exponent, we multiply exponents.
7. When we have exponents with parenthesis, we apply it to everything in the parenthesis.
We will use these rules to simplify.
Use rule #3 to simplify inside the parenthesis first.
Now simplify the exponent of 4 using rule 6.
70% is the same as 70/100 then we simplify by taking off one zero of each number 7/10 and we can't divide it any more so the answer is 7/10
Answer:
x = -1, y = -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the elimination method,
multiply the first eqn by 2 and the 2nd eqn by 5.
6x - 10y = 14
25x - 10y = -5
Subtract one of the new equations from the other
-19x = 19
x = -1
Sub x=-1 into the 2nd eqn
-5 - 2y = -1
y = -2
Hence x = -1, y = -2.
