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:

  1. f(x)=9^x    (Original problem)
  2. x= -2 .      ( Exponent (x) equals to -2)
  3. 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)

Find the first term, a1, of an arithmetic sequence if a12 = 38 and a45 = 170.
snow_lady [41]
Standard formula for arithmetic sequence:
an = a0 + d(n-1)

if we use the two terms given, setting a12 as starting term and a45 as the end term an.

170 = 38 + 33d 
170 - 38 = 33d
132 = 33d

132/33 = d
This is the common difference, use it to find the first term.

38 = a0 + (132/33)(12-1)
38 = a0 + (132/33)(11)
38 = a0 + 132/3
38 - 132/3 = a0
38 - 44 = a0
-6 = a0

The starting term is -6

Please help this is important<br> -1.5x+12=2.5x-12
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

move all terms to the left:

-1.5x+12-(2.5x-12)=0

get rid of parentheses

-1.5x-2.5x+12+12=0

add all the numbers together, and all the variable.

-4x+24=0

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-4x=-24

x=-24/-4 - divide

x=+6

When the points below are connected, they will form triangle ABC. Show and state whether this triangle has a right angle or not.
cluponka [151]

Answer:

See explanartions below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates A(-6,3) B(0,5) C(2,-1)

We first need to get the slope of AB, BC and AC

For AB;

A(-6,3) B(0,5)

Mab = 5-3/0-(-6)

Mab = 2/6

Mab = 1/3

For BC;

B(0,5) C(2,-1)

Mbc = -1-5/2-0

Mbc = -6/2

Mc = -3

For AC:

A(-6,3) C(2,-1)

Mac = -1-3/2-(-6)

MAc = -4/8

Mac = -1/2

Taking the product of Mab and Mbc

Mab * Mbc = 1/3 + -3

Mab * Mbc = -1

<em>Since the product of Mab and Mbc is -1, hence AB abd BC are perpendicular showing that one of the angle of triangle ABC is 90 degrees</em>
