Why is (-5) to the 28th power positive but without parentheses it is negative?

= (10+5^2)*((5*-2)+9-3^3)/2

= (10+25)*((5*-2)+9-3^3)/2

= (35)*((5*-2)+9-3^3)/2

= 35*((5*-2)+9-3^3)/2

= 35*((-10)+9-3^3)/2

= 35*(-10+9-3^3)/2

= 35*(-10+9-27)/2

= 35*(-1-27)/2

= 35*(-28)/2

= 35*-28/2

= -980/2

= -490

Step-by-step explanation:

inch

step-by-step explanation:

yard and mile are too big.

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
