How can the quotient of powers law be used to show that a negative exponent is equivalent to the reciprocal

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kay [80]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:Thus,  (-3)-4 = 1/(-3)4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative exponents have the following property:   n-m = 1/nm   OR   1/n-m = nm

So for  (-3)-4 ,  n= -3 and -m= -4 (or m= 4).

Thus,  (-3)-4 = 1/(-3)4.

Consider a value to be significantly low if its z score less than or equal to minus−2 or consider a value to be significantly hi
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

If the weight is higher than 5.8886 gr would be considered significantly high

If the weight is lower than 5.6121 gr would be considered significantly low

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(5.75241,0.06281)  

Where \mu=5.75241 and \sigma=0.06281

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For the case when z =-2 we can do this:

-2 = \frac{X-5.75241}{0.06281}

And if we solve for X we got:

X = 5.75241 -2*0.06281 =5.6121

And for the other case when Z=2 we have:

2 = \frac{X-5.75241}{0.06281}

And if we solve for X we got:

X = 5.75241 +2*0.06281 =5.8886

If the weight is higher than 5.8886 gr would be considered significantly high

If the weight is lower than 5.6121 gr would be considered significantly low

Given the function f(x) = 4x - 2, explain and show how to find the average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 4.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 4 is of 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change:

The average rate of change of a function f(x) in an interval [a,b] is given by:

A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

In this question:

f(x) = 4x - 2, b = 4, a = 2

Thus:

f(b) = f(4) = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = 14

f(a) = f(2) = 4(2) - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6

Average rate of change:

A = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

A = \frac{14-6}{4-2}

A = \frac{8}{2}

A = 4

The average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 4 is of 4.

Is the system of equations consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent?
ollegr [7]

Answer: Consistent and independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system of equations:

y = 4x - 4

y = -4x + 4.

Now, first let's define the terms used in the question.

consistent and independent: we have only one solution.

consistent and dependent: we have infinite solutions.

inconsistent: we do not have solutions.

Now, let's look at the system:

y = 4x - 4

y = -4x + 4.

Let's take the quotient between both the equations:

(y/y) = (4x - 4)/(-4x + 4)

1 = (4x - 4)/(-4x + 4)

let's see if we can solve this for x.

1*(-4x + 4) = 4x - 4

-4*x + 4 = 4x - 4

-4x - 4x = -4 - 4

-8*x = -8

x = -8/-8 = 1.

and to find the value of y, we can input this value of x in one of the equations:

y = 4*1 - 4 = 0.

Then we have only one solution, (1, 0).

(and will be the same if you input x in the other equation, as the right side is minus the right side of the first equation)

Then the system is consistent and independent.
