Example Question #51 : Fractions
Raise 
To raise a negative number to an even-numbered power, raise its absolute value to that power:
Example Question #341 : Arithmetic
Evaluate:
By the order of operations, carry out the operations in parentheses first; since there is a multiplication and a subtraction present, carry them out in that order. Finally, carry out the remaining subtraction:
Example Question #1 : Multiplicative Inverse Property
Which of the following statements demonstrates the inverse property of multiplication?
None of the examples in the other responses demonstrates the inverse property of multiplication.
The inverse property of multiplication states that for every real number, a number exists, called the multiplicative inverse, such that the number and its inverse have product 1. Of the statements given, only
demonstrates this property.
Example Question #51 : Fractions
Raise 
To raise a negative number to an even-numbered power, raise its absolute value to that power. Also, to raise a fraction to a power, raise its numerator and its denominator to that power. Combine these ideas as follows:
Example Question #341 : Concepts
Raise 
To raise a negative number to an odd-numbered power, raise its absolute value to that power, then make the sign negative. Also, to raise a fraction to a power, raise its numerator and its denominator to that power. Combine these ideas as follows:
Example Question #52 : Fractions
Raise 
To raise a negative number to an odd-numbered power, raise its absolute value to that power, then make the sign negative:
Example Question #53 : Fractions
One euro is worth approximately $1.27. For how much American money can a French tourist expect to exchange 800 euros?
The correct answer is not given among the other choices.
One Euro is equivalent to $1.27, so multiply the number of euros - 800 - by this conversion factor.
Example Question #54 : Fractions
Evaluate:
By the order of operations, carry out the operation in parentheses, which is the leftmost subtraction, then the multiplication, then the rightmost subtraction:
