One way you could solve this is to just multiply the top and bottom out so that you get 9/81, reducing it by 9/9 to get 1/9 or option C.
Another way would be to do

since dividing numbers with exponents would be subtracting the bottom exponent from the top exponent, provided that the base number (in this case 3) is the same for both. For this method, you would get

, which is equal to 1/9 or .1 repeating, the same answer that you'd get with the first method.

For a better understanding of this problem, see the figure below. Our goal is to find
. Since:

and
is a common side both for ΔMRN and ΔMQN, then by SAS postulate, these two triangles are congruent and:

By Pythagorean theorem, for triangle NQP:

Applying Pythagorean theorem again, but for triangle MQN:

Answer:
D. (2, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The solutions are the two points of intersection of the graphs:
(-2, -4) and (2, 0)
The latter of these corresponds to choice D, the one you have marked.
Answer:
The length of the resulting segment is 500.
Step-by-step explanation:
Vectorially speaking, the dilation is defined by following operation:
(1)
Where:
- Center of dilation.
- Original point.
- Scale factor.
- Dilated point.
First, we proceed to determine the coordinates of the dilated segment:
(

![P'(x,y) = O(x,y) + k\cdot [P(x,y)-O(x,y)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%27%28x%2Cy%29%20%3D%20O%28x%2Cy%29%20%2B%20k%5Ccdot%20%5BP%28x%2Cy%29-O%28x%2Cy%29%5D)
![P(x,y) = (0,0) +5\cdot [(10,40)-(0,0)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28x%2Cy%29%20%3D%20%280%2C0%29%20%2B5%5Ccdot%20%5B%2810%2C40%29-%280%2C0%29%5D)

![Q'(x,y) = O(x,y) + k\cdot [Q(x,y)-O(x,y)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%27%28x%2Cy%29%20%3D%20O%28x%2Cy%29%20%2B%20k%5Ccdot%20%5BQ%28x%2Cy%29-O%28x%2Cy%29%5D)
![Q' (x,y) = (0,0) +5\cdot [(70,120)-(0,0)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%27%20%28x%2Cy%29%20%3D%20%280%2C0%29%20%2B5%5Ccdot%20%5B%2870%2C120%29-%280%2C0%29%5D)

Then, the length of the resulting segment is determined by following Pythagorean identity:


The length of the resulting segment is 500.
