*****FAN AND MEDAL********* HELP!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Select the symbol that makes the number sentence true. \[4^2/2^-3 (blank) \left| -2 \times 7 \right| \times \left| 2 - 10 \right|\] \[A) < \] \[B) > \] \[C) =\] \[D) \le \] Sorry that took so long this is hard to do on a laptop XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mertsj

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that 2 to the negative third power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get it?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[\frac{4^2}{2^{-3}}|-2\times7|\times|2-10|\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Is that the correct problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, I just couldnt do that on a laptop for some reson :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the answer is B and the problem is correct

OpenStudy (mertsj):

First of all, work on the fraction. Do you know that 1/a^-n=a^n?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mertsj I have no idea what 1/a^-n=a^n means...:/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its B the left side is 128 and the right side is 112

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that it BI just want to know how to get it

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[\frac{4^2}{2^{-3}}=4^2(2^3)\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you know this property: \[\frac{1}{a ^{-n}}=a^n\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes..

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So what is the left side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you just solve for each side you take 4 squared and divid that by 2 to the negative 3 and then you solve fr the other side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

128?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes. 16 x 8 = 128

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Now let's work on the right side.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2 x 7 and since it absoute vaule you cant have a negative so it would be 14 , the ndo 2-10 and you would get 8 and multiply 14 by8 to get the value of that side

OpenStudy (mertsj):

-2X14=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then the other side would be 112, ok now I get it thank you @Mertsj

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur welcome :) @Stabar
