For this case we have that by definition it is fulfilled:

Where:
a: It is the base
b: It is the exponent
So, if we have the following expression:
-6 to the power of 4, is equivalent to: 
So we have to:
-6: It is the base
4: It is the exponent
Answer:
-6: It is the base
4: It is the exponent
Answer:
b, e
Step-by-step explanation:
a, b) ordinarily, we claim the variable on the vertical axis is a function of the variable on the horizontal axis. By that claim, <em>temperature is a function of time</em>.
If the graph passed the horizontal line test (a horizontal line intersects in one place), then we could also say time is a function of temperature. The graph does not pass that test, so we cannot make that claim.
c) The graph has negative slope between 4:00 and 5:00. Temperature is decreasing in that interval, not increasing.
d) The graph has two intervals in which it is horizontal: 5:00-9:00 and 11:00-12:00. In those intervals it is neither increasing nor decreasing.
e) The graph shows a minimum in the interval 11:00-12:00. <em>The lowest temperature first occurs at 11:00</em>.
Answer:
x = -
, x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - x -
= 0
Multiply through by 4 to clear the fraction
4x² - 4x - 3 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 4 × - 3 = - 12 and sum = - 4
The factors are + 2 and - 6
Use these factors to split the x- term
4x² + 2x - 6x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2x(2x + 1) - 3(2x + 1) = 0 ← factor out (2x + 1) from each term
(2x + 1)(2x - 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
2x + 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 1 ⇒ x = - 
2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3> a) [ -6 +22 – 6 + 8 ] ÷ ( -9 )</h3>
[ -6 +22 – 6 + 8 ] = 18
18 ÷ (-9) = -2
<h3> b) 400 ÷ { 40 – (-2) -3 – ( -1)} </h3>
{40 – (-2) -3 – ( -1)} = { 40 + 2 -3 + 1} = 40
400 ÷ 40 = 10
<h3>c) 40 x -23 + 40 x -17 </h3>
(40 x 23) + (40 x -17)
920 + (-680)
= 240
<h3>d) 1673 x 99 – (-1673) </h3>
(1673 x 99) + 1673
1673 x 100
= 167300
<h3>e) 490 x 98 = 48020</h3>
Hope this helps ^-^
