We are given the expression:
(17.6^-1)^8 = 17.6 ^ -8
This means that the two terms on each side are equal. We are asked to show how this is possible.
First, use the rule of exponents. If a term raised to the power of a number x^n and is further raised to the power m: (x^n)^m, to simplify the expression, multiply n and m and this will be your end exponent = x^nm.
We can apply this rule here:
17.6^-1 ^ 8
-1 * 8 = -8
then, retain the base and replace the exponent with the product nm:
17.6 ^-8. This proves that the left term is equal to the right term. <span />
Answer:
a. 3 $3.69
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll do the same as I did for the previous one. Don't follow long division unless you are FORCED to.
-1| 1 -8 -24
--- -1 9
----------------------------------------------
1 -9 -15
The answer is x-9 with a remainder of -15
Hi there!
That statement is false.
A square is a special type of rhombus that has 4 right angles.
However, not all rhombuses have 4 right angles.
Thus, this statement is not always true.
However, the converse of this statement would be true.
The converse of this statement is "If a quadrilateral is a square, than it is a rhombus".
This is true because a square is a type of rhombus, but the original statement is not true because a rhombus is not a type of square.
I hope if this is what you needed.
Feel free to comment if you need anything more!
Have an awesome day! :)
