Step-by-step explanation:
I am not fully sure what your teacher is aiming for. it friends very much on what you were just discussing in class (which I don't know).
but the first thing coming to mind is a minus sign ("-"). squaring a negative number removed the minus and makes the result equal to squaring the same positive number.
just for the undoing the 1/2 :
that is, because a fraction as exponent specifies in its denominator the root to be calculated for the basic value or expression.
so, 1/2 means square root. and yes, square is the inverse function of a square root, and it "undoes" the square root.
in exponent calculation it just means that for exponent 1 to the power of exponent 2 we simply multiply both exponents. and so, 1/2 × 2 = 1
FYI - the numerator still represents an original "to the power of" operation.
so, e.g. 3/2 would mean put the basis to the power of 3 and then do the square root of that result. or the other way around. these operations are commutative (the sequence does not matter).
Answer:
C' (-4 , 2)
slope of new line = line "L" = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
C (x₀,y₀): (0,2) dilation center (h,k): (2,2) scale factor (sf): 3
C' (x,y)
x = 2 + 3*(0-2) = -4 x = h + sf*(x₀ - h)
y = 2 + 3*(2-2) = 2 y = k + sf*(y₀ - k)
C' (-4 , 2)
slope of new line = line "L" = -2
Answer: 200 adult tickets and 400 student tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.
Let y represent the number of student tickets that were sold.
Adult tickets to a play cost $1.75 each and student tickets cost $1.25 each. If the income from the play was $850, the expression would be
1.75x + 1.25y = 850- - - - - - - - - -1
Suppose there are twice as many student tickets sold as adult tickets. This is expressed as
y = 2x
Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes
1.75x + 1.25 × 2x = 850
1.75x + 2.5x = 850
4.25x = 850
x = 850/4.25
x = 200
y = 2x = 2 × 200
y = 400
