70 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP PLEASE1. Apply the properties of integer exponents to write equivalent numerical expressions. Show all work.Ex. 32 • 3-5 = 3-3 = a. 4^1 • 4^2b. 5^3 • 5^-6c. 32 • 31d. 6^5 • 5^-72. Select two of the above expressions (one multiplication and one division) and explain how you simplified them.
Accepted Solution
A:
4^1 * 4^2 = 4^(1 + 2) = 4^3 = 64
5^3 * 5^-6 = 5^(3 - 6) = 5^-3 = 1/125
The third one down is rather sneaky. It's also kinda neat. 31 = 32 - 1 = 2^5 - 1 32 * 31 = 32 (2^5 - 1) = 2^5(2^5 - 1) = 2^10 - 2^5 = 1024 - 32 = 992
I don't see any math tricks to solve this. Use brute force. 6^5 * 5^-7 = 6^5 / 5^7 = 7776 / 17125 = 0.00953
2. Just pick a couple of questions out of the four above. The last one is a good example for division. The first one would be good for multiplication. I've explained all you need.
