That said, if these were your practice scores and you want to ensure cross...

5^17 * 4^9

(rewrite the 5 to 10/2 and the 4 to 2^2)

==> (10/2)^17 * (2^2)^9

==> ( (10^17) / (2^17) ) * (2^18)

==> (10^17) * (2^18) / (2^17)

==> (10^17) * 2

==> B

krisraam, the line we are looking for is not perpendicular to PQ, I was referring to the line we draw to calculate the distance from a point to a line. So, if point M is the mid-point of PQ, and O is the origin, then segment OM is not perpendicular to PQ, however, shortest distance from P to OM is t...
