Step-by-step explanation:

2 m corresponds to 0.4 cm on a blueprint.

so,

2 m / 0.4 cm = 200 cm / 0.4 cm

our fun the point of view of the blueprint

0.4 cm / 200 cm

the scale on a map or blueprint is usually normed to one unit on the blueprint :

0.4/200 × f/f = 1/(200×f)

0.4 × f = 1

f = 1/0.4 = 2.5

so, our scale is

(0.4 × 2.5) / (200 × 2.5) = 1 / 500

that means 1 cm on the blueprint corresponds to 500 cm or 5 m in reality.

Which expression is equivalent to (r Superscript negative 7 Baseline) Superscript 6? r Superscript 42 StartFraction 1 Over r Sup

vodomira [7]

Power rule of exponents says that the power of the power of a exponent is equal to the multiplying both the powers. The expression which is equal to the given expression is,

$\dfrac{1}{(r)^{42}}$

The option B is the correct option.

Given information-

The given expression in the problem is,

$[(r)^{-7}]^5$

<h3>Power rule of exponents</h3>

Power rule of exponents says that the power of the power of a exponent is equal to the multiplying both the powers.

Suppose<em> </em><em>x</em> is a number with power <em>a. </em>The power is power of the power of number <em>x. </em>Then by the power rule of the exponents,

$(x^a)^b=x^{ab}$

Using the power rule of the exponents given expression can be written as,

$[(r)^{-7}]^6=(r)^{-7\times 6} 
$

$[(r)^{-7}]^6=(r)^{-42}$

<h3>Negative exponents rule</h3>

Negative exponents rule says that when a power of a number is negative, then write the number in the denominator with the same power with positive sign.Thus,

$[(r)^{-7}]^6=\dfrac{1}{(r)^{42}}$
