Which expression is equivalent?

If set d is not the empty set but is a subset of set e, then which of the following is true? d ∩ e = d d ∩ e = e d ∩ e = ∅

Complete the conditional statement. if a + 2 < b + 3, then a < b b < a a – b < 1 a < b + 1

Consider this expression and the steps to evaluate it. 4^5(−2)^9/4^8(−2)^3 1. apply the quotient of powers:      (−2)^a/4^b 2. evaluate powers:           c/d select the value of each variable. a = _ b = _ c = _ d = _
