Solution Steps

Step 1: Evaluate \(3^4\)
  • \(3^4\) means \(3\) multiplied by itself \(4\) times.
  • \(3^4 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 81\).
Step 2: Evaluate \(-3^4\)
  • The exponent applies only to \(3\), not the negative sign.
  • \(-3^4 = -(3^4) = -81\).
Step 3: Evaluate \(3^{-4}\)
  • A negative exponent means taking the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent.
  • \(3^{-4} = \frac{1}{3^4} = \frac{1}{81}\).

The remaining questions are left unanswered as per the guidelines.

Final Answer

(a) \( \boxed{81} \)

(b) \( \boxed{-81} \)

(c) \( \boxed{\frac{1}{81}} \)

(e) \( \boxed{\frac{9}{4}} \)

(f) \( \boxed{15.25} \)

(a) \( \boxed{50 - 4\sqrt{2}} \)

(b) \( \boxed{4a^5b^8} \)

(c) \( \boxed{12x^{3/2}y^3} \)

Contain - It produces plastic storage bins for household storage needs. The company makes two sizes of bins: Large (50 gallon) and Regular (35 gallon). Demand for the product is so high that the company can sell as many of each size as it can produce. The same machinery is used to produce both sizes. The machinery is available for only 3,400 hours per period. The company can produce 12 Large bins every hour compared to 15 Regular bins in the same time. Fixed expenses amount to 120,000 per period. Sales prices and variable costs are as follows: 1. Which product should Contain - It emphasize? Why? 2. To maximize profits, how many of each size bin should the company produce? 3. Given this product mix, what will the company's operating income be? Costs - Regular Large Sales price per unit. 8.70 10.90 Variable cost per unit 3.20 4.10
