Answer:

5^8

Step-by-step explanation:

Diego added the exponents. This was an error. If he was simplifying

5^2 × 5^4, then he could add the exponents and get a correct answer. But his problem had a power raised to a power. In this case, you multiply the exponents to simplify.

(5^2)^4 means

5^2×5^2×5^2×5^2

which is

5×5×5×5×5×5×5×5

which is 5^8.

Find all real zeros of the function y= -3x+9
Basile [38]
0= -3x+9
-9=-3x
3=x

Final answer: x=3

There is only one zero because it is linear, and can therefore only cross the x axis once.

Does the function model exponential growth or decay? f(t)=1/4⋅4^t
yarga [219]

Answer:

This is an exponential decay

Because the base of the exponent is 1/4.4 which is less than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

What is exponential growth?

when the base of our exponential is bigger than 1, which means those numbers get bigger.

What is exponential decay?

when the base of our exponential is in between 1 and 0 and those numbers get smaller.

Answer:

$3.98(estimated)

Step-by-step explanation:

3c (cake) + 2(2c - 11) (bread) = 5.87

3c + 4c - 22 = 5.87

7c - 22 = 5.87

7c = 5.87 + 22

7c = 27.87

c = 3.98

Tyler selects one card from the three(4,5, and a King), and rolls a number cube. What is the probability that she selects the 5,
Svet_ta [14]

\frac{1}{3}Answer:

2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

given that Tyler selects one card from the three(4,5, and a King), and rolls a number cube.

We find that A the event of selecting one card and B getting a number on rolling a number cube are independent events.

No of cards = 3

Prob of selecting 5 from 3 cards = P(1,2,3, or 4) = \frac{2}{3}

When rolling a number cube (assuming fair) there is equally likely for all numbers to appear from 1 to 6

Prob of getting 5 =\frac{1}{6}

Prob of getting less than 5 =

Since these two events are independent,

the probability that she selects the 5, and rolls a number less than 5

= Product of probabilities

= \frac{1}{3}*\frac{2}{3}

=\frac{2}{9}
