Answer:

answers C and D are both correct. (I consider D to be "simpler.")

Step-by-step explanation:

By the rules of exponents ...

(a^b)^c = a^(b·c)

Here, we have a=-3, b=2. c=3, so ...

((-3)^2)^3 = (-3)^(2·3) = (-3)^6

___

Consider further that ...

-3 = (-1)(3)

and another rule of exponents tells you ...

(a·b)^c = (a^c)·(b^c)

so our previous simplified result can also be written as ...

(-3)^6 = ((-1)·(3))^6 = (-1)^6·(3)^6 = 1·(3)^6 = (3)^6

_____

I find it hard to tell just how "simplified" your answer key may want the answer to be. Of course, the simplest possible form is 729.

Answer:

$43.91

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating Total Cost. Multiply the cost of an item or service by the sales tax in order to find out the total cost. The equation looks like this: Item or service cost x sales tax (in decimal form) = total sales tax. Add the total sales tax to the Item or service cost to get your total cost.

$35.60 + $2.58 (tax) = $38.18

$38.18+ $5.73 (tip at 15%) = $43.91 total

hope this helps you!

Divide 3 1/2 by 2/3. 3 1/2 = 7/2 as an improper fraction, so we have 7/2 ÷ 2/3 = 7/2 * 3/2 = 21/4 = 5 1/4 L

This question is asking "Where does cosine equal $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ ?"

Based on our unit circle values and the domain of the cos^{-1} function, we see that at 30 degrees, or $\frac{\pi}{6}$ , cosine is equal to $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ .
