Consider values
\[ 0.7^{-0.5};\ \left(\frac58\right)^6;\ \left(\frac32\right)^{-5};\ 3.5^{0};\ 0.4^4;\ 5^3\text{.} \]
Without using a calculator, determine how many of the values are greater than \( 1 \).
Using properties of exponential function convert the
following inequality to an explicit inequality for the parameter
\(a\).
\[
\left (\sqrt{5} -\sqrt{3}\right )^{a+2} > \left (\sqrt{5} -\sqrt{3}\right )^{4a-1}
\]
