You can use the fact that  a number raised to negative powers can be written as 1 divided by that number raised to positive number.

The value of the given expression when m = -5 and n= 3 is -\dfrac{2}{5}

<h3>How can we rewrite a number raised to negative power?</h3>

Suppose we've got a^{-b} . then it can be rewritten as

a^{-b}  = \dfrac{1}{a^b}

It is because a^0 = 1 for any a except 0, and that  \dfrac{a^0}{a^b} = a^{0-b} = a^{-b}

If base are same and there is multiplication, then there will be addition in power.

Also, know the fact that if base are same and there is division, there will be subtraction in power(subtracting since that denominator when goes up, its power gets negated(gets negative sign to the existing power)

Thus,

a^b \timesa ^c = a^{b+c}\\\\\dfrac{a^b}{a^c} = a^{b-c}

<h3>Using above method to simplify the given expression before evaluating</h3>

The given expression is \dfrac{2m^{-1}n^5}{3m^0n^4} = \dfrac{2n^5}{3m^0m^1n^4} = \dfrac{2n^5}{3mn^4} = \dfrac{2n^{5-4}}{3m} = \dfrac{2n^1}{3m} = \dfrac{2n}{3m}

Putting m = -5 and n=3, we get:

\dfrac{2\times 3}{3 \times -5} = -\dfrac{2}{5}

Thus,

The value of the given expression when m = -5 and n= 3 is -\dfrac{2}{5}

a ball is shot straight upward. with it's height, in feet, after t seconds given by the function f(t)=-16t^2+192t. Find the aver
jekas [21]

ANSWER

80  {ms}^{ - 1}

EXPLANATION

The average velocity of the ball is the rateof displacement over the total time.

The height of the ball, in feet, after t seconds is given by the function:

f(t)=-16t^2+192t

At time t=1, the height of the ball is

f(1)=-16(1)^2+192(1)

f(1)=-16+192 = 176ft

At time t=6, the height of the ball is

f(6)=-16(6)^2+192(6)

f(6)=-16(36)+192(6)

f(6)=-576+1152 = 576

The average velocity

=  \frac{f(6) - f(1)}{6 - 1}

=  \frac{576- 176}{6 - 1}

=  \frac{400}{5}

= 80  {ms}^{ - 1}
