Answer:
The length of the diagonal HJ is 10.82 units
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets revise the rule of the distance between two points
- , where
and
are the two points
* Lets use this rule to find the length of the diagonal HJ
∵ The coordinates of point H are (-4 , 3)
∵ The coordinates of point J are (5 , -3)
∴ and
∴ and
- Lets find the length of the diagonal HJ by using the rule above
∴ HJ =
∴ HJ =
∴ HJ = 10.82
* The length of the diagonal HJ is 10.82 units
Answer:
256
Step-by-step explanation:
A calculator works well for this.
_____
None of the minus signs are subject to the exponents (because they are not in parentheses, as (-1)^5, for example. Since there are an even number of them in the product, their product is +1 and they can be ignored.
1 to any power is still 1, so the factors (1^n) can be ignored.
After you ignore all of the things that can be ignored, your problem simplifies to ...
(2^2)(2^-3)^-2
The rules of exponents applicable to this are ...
(a^b)^c = a^(b·c)
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
Then your product simplifies to ...
(2^2)(2^((-3)(-2)) = (2^2)(2^6)
= 2^(2+6)
= 2^8 = 256
