Does a negative exponent result in a negative answer

Mathematics

madam [21]3 years ago

No! Remember, you see a negative exponent, that just means the reciprocal of the positive exponent. So 1 over negative 2 to the third power, to the positive third power. And this is equal to 1 over negative 2 times negative 2 times negative 2. ... So this is equal to negative 1/8.

75% OFF!
ICE Princess25 [194]
$676.

If the sale price of the coat is $169, you are looking for the original price. I like to think about it in the sense that if an item is 75% off, you are paying 25% of the original amount. Using that logic, in order to determine the sale price you would use the equation

Original price * 25% = $169

To solve for the original price:

Original price = $169/.25 = $676.

Find cos q if q is an angle in standard position and the point with coordinates (3, –4) lies on the terminal side of the angle.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

cos q = 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard position means the vertex (point or corner of the angle) is at (0,0) and one side of the angle is glued to the positive x-axis (facts, but not technical math terms) See image. Special triangles have all three sides nice and clean with whole number lengths, we call these Pythagorean triples. 3-4-5 is your most basic Pythagorean triple. So we don't even have to calculate the hypotenuse, see image. Now the triangle shown is easy to work with, using entry-level trig...cos = ADJ/HYP. So we get 3/5=.6 BUUuuuut, the angle q in the original problem is actually the giant angle, marked in yellow (see image) and we're in the fourth quadrant which means there's negative numbers all over the place. So just to be sure the answer is .6 and not -.6 Check your signs. One trick to remember is the ASTC markings in the quadrants. I use All Students Take Calculus, but what it means is in the first quadrant All the trig functions are positive. Only Sine (and fam) are positive in the 2nd quadrant. Tan (and fam) in the 3rd and Cos and fam in the 4th quadrant. It's a good quick check.

cos q = 3/5 OR cos q = .6
