Tom simplified an expression in three steps, as shown: x to the power of negative 2 multiplied by y to the power of 4, over y multiplied by x to the power of 4 multiplied by x to the power of 4 multiplied by y to the power of negative 2, the whole to the power of 4 equal to x to the power of 2 multiplied by y to the power of 8, over y to the power of 4 multiplied by x to the power of 8 multiplied by x to the power of 8 multiplied by y to the power of 2 equal to x to the power of 2 multiplied by y to the power of 8, over y to the power of 6 multiplied by x to the power of 16. Which is the first incorrect step and why? (5 points) Step 1, all the exponents are increased by 4 Step 2, the exponents of the same base are added during multiplication Step 3, the exponents of the same base are subtracted during division Step 3, all the exponents are added during division

Step-by-step explanation:

The three steps are

Correct solution should be:

This would give next steps:

Answer options:

Step 1, all the exponents are increased by 4

Step 2, the exponents of the same base are added during multiplication

Step 3 wasn't performed yet, there was step 1 and 2.

step-by-step explanation:

|ab| = 1.4 = 4

h = 1.4 = 4

a(abc) area = 4.4 = 16/2 = 8

area of abc = 8 cm^2

good luck ! ; )

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
