Step-by-step explanation:
In the expression a^n, for integer values of n greater than 1, there are n factors. For example, a^2 = a * 2 (2 factors), a^3 = a * a * a (3 factors), etc.
For a non-negative value of a, a^n is non-negative for all values of n.
If a is negative, and n is even, then a^n is non-negative.
If a is negative, and n is odd, then a^n is negative.
|a| is non-negative for all values of a.
sqrt_n(a^n) is negative for negative a and odd n, but |a| is always non-negative, so sqrtn(a^n) cannot equal |a| for odd n.
A pair of jeans = $40.00
There is a 6.5% sales tax.
First change the % into a decimal by moving the decimal point two spaces to the left.
0.065
Multiply that by 40.00 to find out how much the tax is.
40 × 0.065 = 2.6
Now add the tax to the initial price.
40.00 + 2.6 = 42.60
The total cost is $42.60.
