The point of an exponent is to show how many times something is multiplied together. Since it is multiplied twice, the answer is
Answer:
To find why he would do this, we need to understand what all the possible first steps are in this equation.
You could add 4 to both sides.
You could subtract 4 from both sides.
You could subtract 5x from both sides.
You could subtract 6x from both sides.
Any of these work. In Bernard's case, he added 5 negative x tiles, meaning he subtracted. C and D already make no sense, but allow me to further explain. By him subtracting 5x from both sides, the equation turns into:
-4 = x + 4
By this point, he can just subtract 4 from both sides to find the value of x. But the question asks for why he did the first step. Therefore, it would
Because tan theta > 0 and cos theta is negative this angle is in the third quadrant.
angle whose cos is 2/5 is 66.42 degrees
The required angle is 180 + 66.42 = 246.42 degrees answer.
120/15=8.
What that means is that for every 8 feet, there's 1 inch added to the scale drawing. Good luck!
