75/100 = 0.75

--------------------

12 x 0.75 = 9

* The mine elevator travels a
distance of 9 metres per minute.

---------------------

After 2 minutes, the mine elevator
would've travelled 18 metres,
therefore your answer is:

A: -18 metres

What is the volume of the item described? An ice cream cone with a cone of radius 2 cm and height of 9 cm with a hemisphere of i
Ratling [72]
Volume of hemisphere = 2πr³/3
Volume of cone = πr²h/3

Where r = 2 and h = 9

Volume = volume of hemisphere + volume of cone
Volume = 2π(2)³/3 + π(2)²(9)/3
Volume = 16π/3 + 36π/3
Volume = 52π/3

Write an equation for the line that passes through the points (0,-6) and (-3,0)
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Then the desired equation is y = -2x - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from point (-3, 0) to point (0, -6), x increases by 3 and y decreases by 6.  Thus, the slope of the line segment connecting these two points is m = rise / run = -6/3 = -2.

Now use the slope-intercept equation of a straight line to determine the y-intercept of this line:

y = mx + b becomes 0 = -2(-3) + b, so that b = -6.

Then the desired equation is y = -2x - 6.

Check:  Does (0, -6) satisfy y = -2x - 6?  Is -6 = -2(0) - 6 true?  YES

How do you solve this
Katen [24]

Answer:

4x^-4/9y^6

Step-by-step explanation:

If the exponent is outside the bracket, it means that all the terms inside will be raised to that exponent. This means that:

(2x^-2 / 3y^3)^2 = 2^2*(x^-2)^2 / 3^2*(y^3)^2

When exponents are raised to an exponent, the exponents are multiplied together, so (x^-2)^2 will = x^(-2*2) = x^-4

Going through:

2^2*(x^-2)^2 / 3^2*(y^3)^2

=4*x^-4 / 9*y^6

=4x^-4/9y^6

Hope this helped!

Is (ab)² equivalent to ab², why or why not?
Montano1993 [528]

(ab)² and ab² are not equal. When you have something in parentheses being squared, you have to square everything inside, so in the case of (ab)², you have to "distribute" the ² to both variables inside. That gives you a²b², not just ab².

If the abstract way is kind of confusing for you, just pick two random numbers for a and b and plug them in to test it. Say a = 3 and b = 4. Then

(3*4)² = 3*4²

(12)² =  3*16

144 ≠ 48
