-----> A<span>ny number at all with a 0 exponent is 1; anything with a -ve exponent means "1 over" i.e. 5^-1 means 1/5, 23^-4 means 1/23^4 etc. 



</span>----->A number to the power of zero is always 1 
<span>A number to the power of a negative number such as 2^-4 is always the reciprocal to the power of 4 so 2^-4 is in fact (1/2) ^4 = 1/2^4 </span>

<span>3^-3/4 is (1/3)^3/4 </span>

<span>(4/9)^-3/5 is (9/4)^3/5
</span>

--->Any number with a zero exponent is equal to 1. A number n to the -x is equal to 1/(n^x)<span>



To simplify a negative exponent expression , I attached an example it is easier that way :)


Hope that helps.xoxo

What is the surface area of the triangular prism?​
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

<h3>The surface area of the prism is A prism=204m2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is the space that is contained in a two-dimensional figure.

Surface area is the total area of all of the sides and faces of a three-dimensional figure.  

To find the surface area, the area of each face is calculated and then add these areas together.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width .

From the graph the length of the rectangle is 10 m and the width is 8 m. Therefore, the area of the bottom face is

From the graph the length of the rectangle is 10 m and the width is 5 m. Therefore, the area of one of the rectangular side faces is

To find the area of a triangle use the following formula  where b is the base and h is the height.

From the graph the base of the triangle is 8 m and the height is 3 m. Therefore, the area of one of the triangular faces is

The surface area of the prism is the sum of the area of the bottom face, the area of the two rectangular side faces, and the area of the two triangular faces

75 pts if you can awnser this
stellarik [79]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5x +6 = 3.25x +3

-2.5x         -2.5x

6 = 0.75x +3

-3              -3

3 = 0.75x

divide by 0.75 both sides

4 = x

or

x = 4

Frank has a sheet of paper which is 1/624 inch thick. If the sheet is folded in half, the total thickness will be 1/312 inch A s
netineya [11]

Answer:

The thickness of the sheet will be 16/39 inch after folded 8 times

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Frank has a sheet of paper of 1/624 inch thick

- The sheet is folded in half, the total thickness is 1/312 inch

- The sheet folded in half again and the total thickness is 1/156 inch

- We need to know the thickness of the sheet after folded 8 times

∵ The 1st thickness is 1/624 inches

∵ The 2nd thickness is 1/312 inch ⇒ after 1st fold

∵ The 3rd thickness is 1/156 inch⇒ after 2nd fold

∵ 1/312 ÷ 1/624 = 2

∵ 1/156 ÷ 1/312 = 2

∴ There is a common ratio 2 between each two fold

∴ The thicknesses of the sheet after each fold formed a

   geometric series

∵ Any term of the geometric series is a_{n}=a(r)^{n-1}, where

  a is the first term, r is the ratio between each two consecutive

  terms and n is the position of the term

∵ a = 1/312 because it is the thickness of the 1st fold

∵ r = 2 , n = 8

∴ a_{8}=\frac{1}{312}(2)^{8-1}=\frac{16}{39}

∴ The thickness of the sheet will be 16/39 inch after fold 8 times
