write the product of the expression 5^4 * 5^-7 using a positive exponent, then write the product using a negative exponent

Answer with positive exponent = or  

Answer with negative exponent =

===========================================================

Explanation:

The rule we use is

If we multiply two exponential expressions with the same base, then we add the exponents.

The base for each is 5. The exponents 4 and -7 add to -3.

This means

To convert to a positive exponent, we apply the reciprocal to the base. We go from 5, aka 5/1, to 1/5.

So,

5y

step-by-step explanation:

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
