Answer:
-1/16
Explanation:
First, when we have a negative power in the numerator, the number with this power will be moved to the denominator and the power is converted to a positive one.
In other words: a^-x = 1 / a^x
In the question, we have:
-(4)^-2
This can be written as:
- 1 / 4^2 = -1 / (4*4) = -1/16
Hope this helps :)
It’s neither cuz it has a positive slope of 3/5
Answer:
answers are below
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>a. -6 ≤ 3x < 15</u>
steps in order to solve:
-6 ≤ 3x
= -6/3 ≤ 3x/3
= -2 ≤ x
3x < 15
= 3x/3 < 15/3
= x < 5
=> -2 ≤ x < 5
<u>b. -3 < 2x - 1 < 7 </u>
steps in order to solve:
-3 < 2x - 1
= 1 - 3 < 2x - 1 + 1
= -2 < 2x
= -2/2 < 2x / 2
= -1 < x
2x - 1 < 7
= 2x - 1 + 1 < 7 + 1
= 2x < 8
= 2x/2 < 8/2
= x < 4
=> -1 < x < 4
<u>c. 7 < -3n + 1 ≤ 13</u>
steps in order to solve:
7 < -3n + 1
= -1 +7 < -3n + 1 - 1
= 6 < -3n
= 6/-3 < -3n/-3
= -2 > n
-3n + 1 ≤ 13
= -3n + 1 - 1 ≤ 13 -1
= -3n <u><</u> 12
= -3n/-3 <u><</u> 12/-3
= n <u>></u> -4
=> -4 <u><</u> n < -2
graphs are below.
hope this helps and is right :)
