Calculate the value of each expression:
(-8)•(-2/3)
show your work:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember  the multiplication of signs:

In this case, given the following expression:

You can idenfity that both factors are negative. Then, the product (The result of the multiplication) will be positive.

Then, in order to get the product, you need to multiply the numerator of the fraction by -8. So, you get:

You can notice that the numerator and the denominator of the fraction obtained cannot be divided by the same number; therefore, the fraction cannot be simplified.

make sure you have version 2.50

try looking in the very back of the book : )

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
