Answer with positive exponent = \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^3 or  \frac{1}{5^3}

Answer with negative exponent = 5^{-3}

===========================================================

Explanation:

The rule we use is

a^b*a^c = a^{b+c}

If we multiply two exponential expressions with the same base, then we add the exponents.

The base for each is 5. The exponents 4 and -7 add to -3.

This means

5^4*5^{-7} = 5^{4+(-7)} = 5^{-3}

To convert to a positive exponent, we apply the reciprocal to the base. We go from 5, aka 5/1, to 1/5.

So, 5^{-3} = \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^3 = \frac{1^3}{5^3} = \frac{1}{5^3}

Which of the following is an odd function?
Inga [223]

Answer:

f(x)=-x

Step-by-step explanation:

An odd function is symmetric with respect to origin.

It has the property,

f( - a) =  - f(a)

The only function that is symmetric about the origin is:

f(x) =  - x

Now let's put x=-a, to get:

f( - a) =  -  - a = a

Also

f(a) =  - a

We can see that:

f( - a) =  - f(a) = a

What is the area of the triangle enclosed by the lines y=0,x=8 and y =x?
Alinara [238K]
Since we have a horizontal line, y=0 on the x-axis, a vertical line at x=8, and a 45 degree angle line from y=x.

So you essentially have a right triangle with a base that is 8 units wide, and a side that is 8 units high.

Since the area is bh/2, A=8*8/2=32u^2
