For this case, we must find an expression equivalent to:

By definition of power properties we have:

Rewriting the previous expression we have:
The "-" are canceled and we take into account that:

So:

According to one of the properties of powers of the same base, we must put the same base and add the exponents:

Answer:

Option B
Answer: 3580.50
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an arithmetic sequence with the common difference being 1
and if u have 1 cent on day 1 and 2 cents on day 2....then on day 40, u would have 40 cents....but we need the sum of all the days..
the sum of an arithmetic sequence can be found using the formula :
sn = n(a1 + an) / 2
n = number of terms = 40
a1 = first term = 1
an = last term = 40
now we sub
s(40) = 40(1 + 40) / 2
s(40) = 40(41)/2
s(40) = 1640/2
s(40) = 820.....820 cents = $ 8.20 <== the sum
Answer:
x=3,y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
2^x+y=16,3^x-y=9
16=2^4,9=3^2
x+y=4,x-y=2 add both
2x=6,x=3
3-y=2,y=1
