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}

Take a square sheet of paper 20 cm by 20 cm, cut identical squares from each corner, and fold up the flaps to make a box (withou
iris [78.8K]

The maximum possible volume of this type of box that can be made from a 20 cm by 20 cm square of paper is 512cm³.

<h3>How to calculate the volume?</h3>

From the information, when the side of 1cm are cut, this will become an open box. The volume will be:

= 18 × 18 × 1

= 324cm³

Also, when 2cm is cut, the volume will be:

= 16 × 16 × 2

= 512cm³

What is the solution to the inequality?
nika2105 [10]
7x + 18 > -3

7x > -21

Divide from 7, 
x > -3

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!
