Multiply or divide as indicated. leave your answer with no factors in the denominator. a^3 b^2 / a^-1 b^-3

a^4 b^5

Step-by-step explanation:

all you have to do is subtract the exponents in the numerator with the exponents in the denominator.

lets focus on 'a' first.

(3) - (-1)= 3+1= 4

so we get a^4

now lets focus on b

(2) - (-3)= 2+3=5

so we get b^5

put that together to get a^4 b^5

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
