Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Alot of these can be solved with the table up above the problems.

A, B, and C.

According to the table, every time a value has an exponent of 0, it would equal to 1. Since all A B and C values follow the 0 exponent, their value is 1.

D.

According to the table, when we have a negative exponent, the number gets turned into a fraction of
(1)/(x^x)

Since our value is 9^-2, do as followed :


(1)/(9^2)

Solve what is 9^2 :


[(1)/(81) ]

E.


(1)/(x^(-5) )

This question is different, since we have to go backwards, we have to switch the negative exponent to a positive exponent and rid the fraction.


x^5

F.


5a^3b^(-2)

Since we have one negative exponent, follow the fraction rule but instead of having one as the numerator, have 5a^3.


(5a^3)/(b^(2))

Fill in the table :


-3^4 = -3*-3*-3*-3=-81

Since -3 is in parenthesis, we can rid the negative along with the parenthesis :


(-3)^4=3^4=3*3*3=81

Follow the negative exponent rule :


(-3)^(-4)=(1)/((-3)^4) =(1)/(3^4) =(1)/(3*3*3*3)= (1)/(81)

Follow the negative exponent rule yet again :


-3^(-4)=-(1)/(3^4) =-(1)/(3*3*3*3) =-(1)/(81)
