HELLZ YA

what if it were something like this: 0=(9x-4)^1/2

if there were no parenthesis the answer would be totally different

you have to distribute the exponent. in this case, the exponent is a fraction meaning you actually take the root

How is eleven squared different from parenthesis eleven squared?

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally... PEMDAS P = parenthesis E = Exponent M = Multiply D = Divide A = Add S = Subtract In other words, order of operation as it is know in mathematics. So coming full circle to your question, parenthesis are typically reserved in equations force a portion of a calcuation to be completed before another, i.e. 1+2*3=7, while (1+2)*3=9. In the second equation, parenthesis are inserted to make sure the addtion is completed prior to the multipication. However, in the question you pose the answer would be the same. (11)^x = 11^x All that said, if the parenthesis in question in in a line of software code, most programs will only connect the term immediately before the carrot "^" as being raised to the power. So a program would read 11^x as 1*1^x instead of (11)^x, thus the need for the parenthesis.


What is the exponent of zero is?

no exponent can make a number equal to zero, however any number with an exponent of zero is one.


How do you make a decimal into a negative exponent?

You look at the denominator first. Then you try to find out what exponents make the denominator. After doing that, you add a negative symbol to the smaller number on the exponent.


Where do you use formulating equations in life?

well, if you know all the formulating equations it will make you better at regular equations and regular equations can be used in everyday life


How does the bisection method work when solving nonlinear equations?

it works exactly the same as it does with linear equations, you don't need to do any differentiation or anything fancy with this method, just have to plug in values of x, so it shouldn't make a difference if the equation is linear or nonlinear.
