Rewrite the expression in the form a^n a^5xa^-3

Work Shown:

I'm assuming the "x" means "multiply", and it is not a variable.

a^5 * a^(-3) = a^(5+(-3)) = a^(5-3) = a^2

The rule I'm using is

a^b*a^c = a^(b+c)

The base is always the same. We add the exponents.

The expression a^2 is in the form a^n with n = 2.

just take the area of the square and then the area of the circle then subtract the circle area from the squares area

step-by-step explanation:

c: y > - 1/6x + 1

step-by-step explanation:

dashed line - meaning this < or > also not equal

solid line - meaning this < or > also equal

your answer is c because y > means up & it's shaded up, but y < means down

hope this ! : )
