Answer:

(a)

Step-by-step explanation:

using the rule of exponents

• $a^{-m}$ ⇔ $\frac{1}{a^{m} }$ , hence

$9^{-2}$ = $\frac{1}{9^{2} }$ = $\frac{1}{81}$ → (a)

Answer:

A. 1/81

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=9^x (Original problem)
x= -2 . ( Exponent (x) equals to -2)
9^-2 (Plug -2 into x)

Since the exponent is negative, the final answer is a reciprocal and the exponent becomes positive.

4. 1/(9^2) ( Reciprocal of 9^-2)

= 1/81 ( Simplify 1/9^2 = 1/9^2)

Write the edge of the cube in terms of its volume

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume is given by

(side)3=volume

Since we have the volume, we must take the cube root of the volume to find the length of any one side (since it is a cube, all of the sides are equal).

(side)3−−−−−−√3=side=volume−−−−−−√3

Plugging in 216 for the volume, we end up with

side=6 cm

What is -34 1/2 - 5 1/2

Verizon [17]

The answer is -40 because if you get rid of the negative sign and add instead of subtract... you get 40 so its like adding in the opposite direction.

Felicity's dog eats no more than two cups of dog food per day. Felicity's dog eats at least one-quarter cup more than one-half o

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{m}{2} \leq x\leq 2$

$x$ denotes amount of food that Felicity's dog eats

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Felicity's dog eats no more than two cups of dog food per day.

Felicity's dog eats at least one-quarter cup more than one-half of the amount Martin's dog eats.

The amount of food that Martin's dog eats is represented by using $m$

To find: the inequality that represents the situation

Solution:

Amount of food that Martin's dog eats = $m$

Amount of food that Felicity's dog eats ≤ 2

Also,

Amount of food that Felicity's dog eats $\geq \frac{1}{4}+\frac{m}{2}$

Therefore,

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{m}{2}\leq$ Amount of food that Felicity's dog eats ≤ 2

Let $x$ denotes amount of food that Felicity's dog eats.

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{m}{2}$ ≤ $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{m}{2} \leq x\leq 2$
