Can someone simplify 9^-2.5?

Mathematics
1 answer:
tresset_1 [31]4 years ago
3 0

Answer: 1/243

Step-by-step explanation: To simplify the problem shown, our first step is to convert the decimal in the exponent, -2.5, to a fraction.

-2.5 is the same thing as -2 and 1/2 so we have 9^-2 and 1/2 and -2 and 1/2 is the same thing as -5/2 so we have 9^-5/2.

The rest of my work is attached in the image provided.

A store is selling five cans of tomato sauce for $5.25. What is the unit price? unit price = total price ÷ number of units per p
aleksklad [387]

Answer: Option A

P = \$\ 1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 5 cans of ketchup they cost $ 5.25. Then the unit price of cans is what each can costs individually.

The unit price should then be less than $ 5.25, and that is the price for 5 cans and we want to know the price for just one can of ketchup.

Then to calculate the price of each can divide the price of the 5 cans by 5.

P = \frac{5.25}{5}

P = \$\ 1.05

The temperature, H, in degrees Celsius, of a cup of coffee placed on the kitchen counter is given by H = f(t), where t is in min
Deffense [45]

Answer:

a

    f'(t) is  negative

b

 The  unit is degC/min

c

At <u>35</u> minutes after the coffee was put on the counter, its temperature is <u>68</u> and will <u>decrease</u> by about <u>0.75</u> in the next 30 seconds.          

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told we are told that  

   The  equation for the temperature of a cup of coffee place on a counter is

         H= f(t)

Here  t is the time in minutes the  coffee was put on the counter

Generally  f(t)'  is the derivative of  f(t) at it represents the change of the temperature of the cup of coffee with respect to time

 Generally for the coffee placed on the counter after a couple of minutes the temperature will decrease hence  f(t)' is  negative

Generally the unit of the temperature is in degrees Celsius while that of time is  in minutes

  So the change in temperature with time f(35)' will be in degrees Celsius/minutes (i.e  degC/min)

  From the question we are told that

        |f(35)'| =  1.5

i.e  the rate of change of temperature after 35 minutes is  1.5

and

         |f(35)| =  68

i.e the temperature of the cup of coffee after 35 minutes is  67 degC

Now after another   t=  30  seconds =  \frac{30}{60}= 0.5 \ minutes the  rate  of change of the temperature of the cup of  coffee is  

          R =  |f(35)'| *  t

=>        R = 1.5  *  0.5

=>        R = 0.75    

So

At <u>35</u> minutes after the coffee was put on the counter, its temperature is <u>68</u> and will <u>decrease</u> by about <u>0.75</u> in the next 30 seconds.

Which equation represents a line perpendicular to the line shown on the graph?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

See description below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To choose the correct equation, find the slope of the line on the graph. Identify two points on the line. Then subtract to find their rate of change using the slope formula.

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

When you know the slope, find the negative reciprocal. For example, if the slope is 2/1 then the negative reciprocal is -1/2. This is the slope of a perpendicular line to a line with slope 2. Choose the equation which has this same slope.

Example:

y = 2x -1

y= -1/2 +5
