Simplify. (-2)^-3 A.-8 B.-1/8 C.1/8 D.8

Mathematics
1 answer:
DiKsa [7]3 years ago
6 0

ANSWER

{( - 2)}^{ - 3} =- \frac{1}{ 8}

EXPLANATION

We want to simplify;

{( - 2)}^{ - 3}

Recall that,

{a}^{ - m}  =  \frac{1}{ {a}^{m} }

{( - 2)}^{ - 3}  =  \frac{1}{{( - 2)}^{ 3}}

We multiply out to get,

{( - 2)}^{ - 3}  = \frac{1}{{- 2} \times  - 2 \times  - 2}

{( - 2)}^{ - 3}  =  \frac{1}{ - 8}

The correct choice is B.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection is a transformation that preserves lengths.

Triangle XYZ, with side lengths XY = 7 in, YZ = 5 in, XZ = 4 in, is reflected across the x-axis to result in △X'Y'Z'.

This means that corresponding sides have the same lengths:

  • XY = X'Y' = 7 in;
  • XZ = X'Z' = 4 in;
  • YZ = Y'Z' = 5 in.

Find the perimeters of both triangles:

P_{XYZ}=XY+XZ+YZ=7+4+5=16\ in\\ \\P_{X'Y'Z'}=X'Y'+X'Z'+Y'Z'=7+4+5=16\ in

Hence, only option B is true.

Sam has $2.25 in quarters and dimes, and the total number of coins is 12. How many quarters and how many dimes?
a_sh-v [17]
N₁*$0.10 + n₂*$0.25 = $2.25

n₁ + n₂ = 12

-----------

This means that:

n₁ = 12 - n₂

And:

(12 - n₂)*$0.10 + n₂*$0.25 = $2.25

12*$0.10 - n₂*$0.10 + n₂*$0.25 = $2.25

$1.20 + n₂*$0.05*(5-2) = $2.25

$1.20 + n₂*$0.05*3 = $2.25

$1.20 + n₂*$0.15 = $2.25

n₂*$0.15 = $2.25 - $1.20

n₂*$0.15 = $1.05

n₂ = ($1.05)/($0.15)

n₂ = 7

If n₂ = 7:

n₁ + 7 = 12

Therefore, n₁ = 5.

---------

Answer:

5 dimes and 7 quarters.
