How do you do this. Please give a full answer and explain why.

OverLord2011 [107]

Law of Exponent

$\displaystyle \large{ {a}^{ - n} = \frac{1}{ {a}^{n} } }$

Compare the terms.

$\displaystyle \large{ {a}^{ - n} = {( - 2)}^{ - 3} }$

Therefore, a = -2 and n = 3. From the law of exponent above, we receive:

$\displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3} = \frac{1}{ {( - 2)}^{ 3} } }$

Exponent Def. (For cubic)

$\displaystyle \large{ {a}^{3} = a \times a \times a }$

Factor (-2)^3 out.

$\displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3} = \frac{1}{( - 2) \times ( - 2) \times ( - 2)}}$

(-2) • (-2) = 4 | Negative × Negative = Positive.

$\displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3} = \frac{1}{4 \times ( - 2)}}$

4 • (-2) = -8 | Negative Multiply Positive = Negative.

$\displaystyle \large{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3} = \frac{1}{ - 8}}$

If either denominator or numerator is in negative, it is the best to write in the middle or between numerator and denominators.

Hence,

$\displaystyle \large \boxed{ {( - 2)}^{ - 3} = - \frac{1}{ 8}}$

The answer is - 1 / 8

Steve studies math for 7/8 of an hour and history for 2/3 of an hour. How many hours did he study?

hoa [83]

Answer:

The answer is 1 13/24 hours or 1 hour, 32.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Find a common multiple of the denominators 3 and 8, which would be 24. Convert the fractions:

7/8 x 3/3 = 21/24.

2/3 x 8/8 = 16/24

Add the two numerators = 37/24 or 1 13/24.

1/24 of an hour is 2.5 minutes, so 13/24 is 32.5 minutes.

The answer is 1 13/24 hours or 1 hour, 32.5 minutes

Use your knowledge of similar triangles to explain why the construction in the image divides the line segment into equal parts.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

This image show how to divide a given line segment into a number of equal parts by using a compass and ruler. First, draw the line AB. Secondly, draw a line above and divide into 5 equal distances to make a line AC. Third, using a compass by getting the distance of point C and B to be equal in the distance of point A and D, also getting the distance of point C to A to be equal to point B and D, then to make the Line DB. Finally divide into 5 equal parts by compass.
