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.

We can say that the area of the figure equals...

5.5 by 9 rectangle - 2 by 2 triangle - 2 by 5 triangle - 9 by 3.5 triangle

5.5 by 9 rectangle = 5.5 x 9 = 49.5 un²

2 by 2 triangle = 1/2 x 2 x 2 = 2 un²

2 by 5 triangle = 1/2 x 2 x 5 = 5 un²

9 by 3.5 triangle = 1/2 x 9 x 3.5 = 15.75 un²

area of figure = 49.5 un² - 2 un² - 5 un² - 15.75 un² = 26.75 un²

answer: 26.75 un²

A rectangle has a perimeter of 84 meters and a length of 35 meters. What is the width of the rectangle?

BaLLatris [955]

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we can use this formula: $2L + 2W$
Where L is the length and W is the width.

We know the perimeter and we know the length and we want to find the width.
Substitute the values back into the formula.

2(35) + 2W = 84
70 + 2W = 84
2W = 14 <-- Subtract both sides by 70
W = 7 <-- Divide both sides by 2

So, width is 7 meters long.

HELP ASAP!! IM FAILING AND I TRANSFER IN A WEEK. IDK HOW TO DO THIS:

X = W
y = L

1. Write a function that could be used to find the garden’s length y in feet,
given its width x in feet. y =

A = x * y
20 = x * y
y = 20/x

2. What happens to the length of the 20-square-foot garden as its width
gets closer and closer to zero feet?
if W = 0 means x = 0, then Area is equal 0. You have a straight length

Please Help me Please Please the question and options are in the picture

Lapatulllka [165]

If you eliminate the parentheses, then add mq, you have

... y - p + mq = mx

Then dividing by m gives you the equation for x:

... x = (y - p + mq)/m
