Answer:

Her usual rate is 0.8333 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity formula is given by:

v = \frac{d}{t}

In which d is the distance and t is the time.

She completed the first half of the walk 1 mi/h faster than usual

Her usual rate is v. 1mph faster is v + 1.

The second half of the walk 2 mi/h slower than the first half.

The first half is v + 1.

2mph slower is v + 1 - 2 = v - 1. Then

Total rate:

7.2 hours, and 6 miles. So

One half is v+1 and the other is v - 1. This is why each is multiplied by 0.5.

0.5(v + 1) + 0.5(v - 1) = \frac{6}{7.2}

0.5v + 0.5 + 0.5v - 0.5 = 0.8333

v = 0.8333

Her usual rate is 0.8333 miles per hour.

Is the statement (3^5)^4 = (3^4)^5 true? Explain your reasoning.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

We use the power rule of exponents to find out that both sides of the equation equal 3^20 (or 3486784401).

Step-by-step explanation:

For this example, we can just use a calculator and find out that both (3^5)^4 and (3^4)^5 are the same value. But how do we know this algebraically?

When dealing with exponents, we must have a good understanding of the properties of exponents before doing any calculations.

For this example, I recognize that the power rule of exponents is being used:

(a^{m})^{n}  = a^{m*n}

So let's apply this rule to the given equation.

(3^5)^4 = (3^4)^5

3^(5*4) = 3^(4*5)

3^20 = 3^20

Now we know both sides of the equation equal 3^20 (or 3486784401).
