Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
3 caterpillars double every minute (3×2=6). after 4 minutes (6×4=24). He captured 7 caterpillars within the four minutes (24-7=17).
Normally, we could add exponents.
however, that only is possible when the bases are the same
recall what exponents mean
12³=12*12*12
so we cannot add exponents for 12³*11³ because that means 12*12*12*11*11*11
it would not equal 12⁶ or 11⁶
or you could refer to the rule

notice when x=x then we can add the bases
fun fact below
we can reverse a previous exponential rule like this
since

then

therefor

we can't add the exponents because the bases are not the same

Answer:
5900 at 11%
3600 at 8%
Step-by-step explanation:
x= invested at 11%
y= invested at 8%
x+y=9500
.11x+.08y=937
Mulitply the first equation by .11
.11x+.11y= 1045
Subtract this and the second equation
(.11x+.11y)-(.11x+.08y)=1045-937
.03y=108
y=3600
SOlve for x
x+3600=9500
x=5900
Answer:
the answer is -7 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
7.75/7.5=0.25
it is 0.25 farther from 0 than 7 1/2
