Say you have the fraction 1/2 to the power of 2, so 1/2^2. You could also write this down as: 1/2*(times)1/2 or 0,5*0,5. Whenever you multiply by a number smaller than one, the outcome will get smaller. Whenever you multiply by a number larger than one, the outcome will be larger.

Sandy has 16 roses, 8 daisies, and 32 tulips. She wants to arrange all the flowers in the bouquets. Each boquet has the same num
natima [27]
Your answer would be 8 since that is your least common denominator between the three bouquets.
If it was more than 8 then each bouquet wouldn't have the same number of flowers since you only have a total of 8 daisies.

Solve x - 3 < -1. Graph the solution.
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: x < 2

Explanation: To solve for <em>x</em> in this inequality, our goal is the same as it would be if this were an equation, to get <em>x</em> by itself on one side.

Since 3 is being subtracted from <em>x</em>, we add 3

to both sides of the inequality to get <em>x < 2</em>.

Before we graph, write your answer in set notation.

We can write this as {x: x < 2}.

It's important to understand what this means.

This means that any number less than 2 is a solution to this inequality.

I have graphed the inequality for you below.

Start with an open dot on +2.

We use an open dot because +2 is not included as a solution.

Then draw an arrow going to the left.

Once Jeremy is on the fire escape he runs 2 feet to the staircase. He then runs across the width of the building. Which of the f
NNADVOKAT [17]
<h3>Answer: Choice D.  4^2+5^2 = x^2</h3>

See note at the bottom

========================================================

The entire building is 20 feet. Fifteen feet of that is from the ground to the first landing of the stairs or fire escape. So 20-15 = 5 feet represents the height of the second set of stairs (leading to the roof of the building)

The base of the triangle is 4 feet as shown in the diagram. The height is 5 feet as found in the prior paragraph. Use the pythagorean theorem to say

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

4^2 + 5^2 = x^2

Note: If you meant to write 4^2+5^2 = x^2 for choice D, then that would be the answer. Otherwise, there is a typo somewhere.
