Describe how (2^3)(2^-4) can be simplifed

Mathematics
1 answer:
yanalaym [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

2^3\times2^{-4}=\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

(2^3)(2^{-4})

This is the  same as;

2^3\times2^{-4}

Recall that;

a^m\times a^n=a^{m+n}

This implies that;

2^3\times2^{-4}=2^{3+-4}

2^3\times2^{-4}=2^{-1}

We now use the following law of exponents

a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}

This gives us;

2^3\times2^{-4}=\frac{1}{2}

25 POINTS PLZ HELP ASAP!!!<br><br> Match the functions with their inverse functions.
antoniya [11.8K]
To calculate the inverse isolate x on one side and switch x with y on both sides

1)
y=(2x-3)/5
5y=2x-3
5y+3=2x
(5y+3)/2=x
-> f(x)=(5x+3)/2

2)
y=(x+8)/2
2y=x+8
2y-8=x
-> f(x)=2x-8

3)
y=(x+2)/7
7y=x+2
7y-2=x
-> f(x)=7x-2

4)
y=(1-2x)/x
y=(1/x)-2
y+2=1/x
x=1/(y+2)
-> f(x)=1/(x+2)

An example problem in a Statistics textbook asked to find the probability of dying when making a skydiving jump.
MArishka [77]

Answer:

(a) 0.999664

(b) 15052

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data of recent years,  there were about 3,000,000 skydiving jumps and 21 of them resulted in deaths.

So, the probability of death is \frac{21}{3000000}==0.000007.

Assuming, this probability holds true for each skydiving and does not change in the present time.

So, as every skydiving is an independent event having a fixed probability of dying and there are only two possibilities, the diver will either die or survive, so, all skydiving can be regarded as is Bernoulli's trial.

Denoting the probability of dying in a single jump by q.

q=7\times 10^{-6}=0.000007.

So, the probability of survive, p=1-q

\Rightarrow p=1-7\times 10^{-6}=0.999993.

(a) The total number of jump he made, n=48

Using Bernoulli's equation, the probability of surviving in exactly 48 jumps (r=48) out of 48 jumps (n=48) is

=\binom(n,r)p^rq^{n-r}

=\binom(48,48)(0.999993)^{48}(0.000007)^{48-48}

=(0.999993)^{48}=0.999664 (approx)

So, the probability of survive in 48 skydiving is 0.999664,

(b) The given probability of surviving =90%=0.9

Let, total n skydiving jumps required to meet the surviving probability of 0.9.

So, By using Bernoulli's equation,

0.9=\binom {n }{r} p^rq^{n-r}

Here, r=n.

\Rightarrow 0.9=\binom{n}{n}p^nq^{n-n}

\Rightarrow 0.9=p^n

\Rightarrow 0.9=(0.999993)^n

\Rightarrow \ln(0.9)=n\ln(0.999993) [ taking \log_e both sides]

\Rightarrow n=\frac {\ln(0.9)}{\ln(0.999993)}

\Rightarrow n=15051.45

The number of diving cant be a fractional value, so bound it to the upper integral value.

Hence, the total number of skydiving required to meet the 90% probability of surviving is 15052.

How might snakes running out of food affect other organisms such as hawks? please help
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The population of Hawks and other species would likely start to edge off.

Step-by-step explanation:

Commonly, a Food Chain is dependent on all the parts of it sataying at a perfect point. If the food that the Snakes eat starts to run out, more of them will die off. With less Snakes, the Hawks will then have less food, and that continues throughout the chain. The same thing would happen if there was too much food, except instead of the populations of species dying off, the Snake population would spike.
