Mathematics

a^{-n} =  \frac{1}{ a^{n} }
<em>So,</em> 4-2( 4^{-2})=4-2  \frac{1}{ 4^{2} } = 4-2 \frac{1}{16} = 4- \frac{1}{8}
<em>We amplify 4 with 8 and we get:</em>
\frac{32-1}{8} =  \frac{31}{8}= 3,875

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of LB if L(8,5) and B(-6,2)<br><br> 10 points!!!
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

A, (1, 3+1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint formula for reference: m= {(x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2}

Plugging in the points we get: m= {(8 - 6)/2, (5 + 2)/2}

Now we simplify using PEMDAS. First step is parentheses.

m= {2/2, 7/2}

Simplifying again (and making 7/2 a mixed number), it becomes

m= {1, 3+1/2}

Hope this helps!

Find the least common denominators of these two rational experssions -1/y and 2/5y

-1/y by 5/5 to get -5/5y. 

If we add the numbers using the least common denominator, we get:
-5/5y + 2/5y = -3/5y

For this problem we have to find the interest rate   given  . To archive that , we can just solve the equation making the interest rate the subject of the formula as shown below,

I= Prt

=> r= I/Pt

=> r= 60/600x5 = 1/50

The interest rate is 1/50 or 0.02 as a decimal. The interest rate is 2% as a percentage.
