Simplify the expression. Assume that x is nonzero.

x^-9 • x⁵

x^-4

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are multiplying powers like x to the power of 2 times x to the power of 3 its basically adding the powers, so the example expression above would be x to the power of 5. Since your expression is x to the pwoer of -9 times x to the power of 5, You would get x to the power of -4 since -9 plus 5 equals -4.

If you are dividing by powers, you subtract the powers btw.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
