Answer:

Each lap took him 48 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Pierce swims 10 laps in 8 minutes.

Let the amount of time he spent for each lap = t minutes.

Then, since each lap takes equal time, the total time taken for 10 laps = 10t minutes.

But, it is given that the total time taken for 10 laps = 8 minutes.

Therefore,

10t = 8

Divide both sides by 10.

t = 0.8 minutes or

t = 48 seconds

Solve each system of inequalities by graphing. <br><br> x-2y<3<br> 2x+y>8

salantis [7]

Not easy to graph but

multily first equaiton by -2 remember to flip sign
-2x+4y>-6
add to other equaiton

2x-2x+y+4y>-6+8
5y>2
divide by 5
y>2/5

subtitute
2x+2/5>8
subtract 2/5 from both sdies
2x>7 3/5
divid eby 2
x>38/10=19/5=3 4/5

x>3 4/5
y>2/5
just shade the area in that zone, not including point (0,0)

(2^3)^7 (2^-9)^2 how do i put that in exponential form

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

2³ = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the laws of exponents, when raising a power to another power, you need to multiply the exponents. After you multiply each set of exponents by the additional power, then it become a multiplication problem where the base is the same. When multiplying exponents with the same base, you keep the base and add the exponents:

$(2^{3})^{7}*(2^{-9})^{2}=2^{21}*2^{-18}=2^{21+-18}=2^{3}$

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of money, in dollars, in a savings account after x years is given by $M(x) = 10000(1.03)^{x}$

This above equation represents that $10000 becomes M(x) after x years at a rate of interest 3% compounded in each year.

Therefore, the value in the expression 1.03 represents that there is a 3 percent increase in the savings account each year.

So, the correct option is B. (Answer)

What is the vertex of the graph of g(x)=|x-3|-3

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

(3, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of the most general absolute value function is y = |x|, whose vertex is at (0, 0). Focusing on the " |x - 3| " tells us that the graph of y = |x| is moved 3 units to the right. Next, focusing on the " -3 " as it tells us that the resulting graph is shifted 3 units down. Thus, the vertex of g(x)=|x-3|-3 is at (3, -3).
