Three to the power of negative four is 81
Answer:
a = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle and the square value of hypotenuse is equal to sum of square value of other two side lengths
68^2 = 60^2 + a^2
4624 = 3600 + a^2
4624 - 3600 = a^2
1024 = a^2 find the root for both sides
32 = a
The first term (a) is - 18
You add 5 to get to the next term. Or you can solve it by taking any 2 consecutive terms and find their difference.
Formula
d = t4- t3
Givens
t4 = - 3
t3 = - 8
Solution 1
d = t4 - t3 Substitute
d = -3 - ( - 8) Remove the brackets
d = -3 + 8 Combine
d = 5 Difference
Remark
Find the general formula
tn = - a + (n - 1)d Substitute
So term 20 = Example
t20 = -18 + (20 - 1)*5 Combine the inside of the brackets. Remove the brackets
t20 = - 18 + 19*5 Combine 19 and 5
t20 = -18 + 95 "Subtract"
t20 = 77 Answer
Answer to question
3-x/2=6
Subtract 3 from both sides
-x/2=3
Multiply 3 by -2
Final Answer: x=-6
Work check
3-x/2=6
Substitute -6 for x since you solved for x in the last equation
3-(-6)/2
Convert 3-(-6/2) to 3+6/2
3+6/2
Divide 6 by 2
3+3
Add
Final Answer: 6 (This 6 is the same 6 we used to solve for x in the first equation).
