What is the value of y in this simplified expression?
k + m 10

Answer:
y=5
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
When given an expression in the form a⁻ᵇ the expression is the same as 1/aᵇ where a and b are integers.
Solving the question by giving the equivalents of the expression:
Therefore (-j)⁻⁷ is the same as 1/j⁷
The value of x=7
k⁻⁵+m⁻¹⁰=1/k⁵+1/m¹⁰
Therefore the value of y is 5.
Question 1:
For this case we have that by definition of properties of powers it is fulfilled that:
[tex]a ^ {- 1} = \frac {1} {a ^ 1} = \frac {1} {a}[/tex]
So, if we have the following expression:
[tex](-j) ^ {- 7}[/tex]
We can rewrite it as:
[tex]\frac {1} {(- j) ^ 7}[/tex]
So we have to:
[tex]x = 7[/tex]
ANswer:
[tex]x = 7[/tex]
Question 2:
For this case we have that by definition of properties of powers it is fulfilled that:
[tex]a ^ {- 1} = \frac {1} {a ^ 1} = \frac {1} {a}[/tex]
If we have the following expression:
[tex]k^{-5}+m^{-10}[/tex]
We can rewrite it as:
[tex]\frac {1} {k ^ 5} + \frac {1} {m ^ {10}}[/tex]
So we have[tex]y = 5[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]y = 5[/tex]
