Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in -3 for n in the equation:
Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, solve the power:
Next, combine like terms. Note that if there are two negative signs directly next to each other, it becomes a positive sign. Add:
Your answer:
I believe the height is 1/6
When you divide 1/16 and 3/8 it equals 1/6
To compare whether or not two fractions are equivalent, they must have the same denominator.
What is a common denominator you can make between
and
? Some possible options are 5n or 10n.
I'll make both denominators 5n:1)
already has 5n in the denominator.
2) To get 5n in the denominator for
, you want to divide both the numerator and denominator by 2 (same as multiplying top and bottom by
). Since you're doing the same thing to the numerator and denominator, you are not changing the value of the fraction:
Now
compare the two fractions. Since
, your fractions are equivalent!
