Negative exponents in denominators can be evaluated using StartFraction 1 Over b Superscript negative and EndFraction nbsp equals, not equals 0.

b Superscript positive

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative exponents in the denominators can be evaluated by moving the function from the denominator to the numerator and changing the power from negative to the positive.

We have

1/b⁻² = b²

Moving the function with a power from denominator to numerator or from numerator to denominator changes the sign of the power. It is not equal to zero.

This is the property of exponents.

answer:   (s+1)(s+4)

step-by-step explanation:

factor s2+5s+4

s2+5s+4

=(s+1)(s+4)

let f (x ) is a function and c be a positive real number,   the graph of the function g (x ) = f (cx ) is represented as follows.

when, c > 1,   the function compresses it in the x - direction.

when, 0 < c < 1, the function stretches it.

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2.

the heighest power of x in g ( x ) = (9x )2 is 2, so the parent function is square function.

the equation of parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

the function is g ( x ) = (9x )2 and the parent function is f ( x ) = x 2 .

so, the functions f and g have the following relationship.

g ( x ) = f ( 9x ).

compare the function g ( x ) = f ( 9x ) with g (x ) = f (cx ).

c = 9 ( > 1 ).

so, the function g (x ) = (9x )2 compresses it in the x - direction.
