Explain why the square root of a number is defined to be equal to that number to the 1/2 power.

This is essentially a rule in the unit of radicals, where n✔️X^m = X^m/n. If the value of m is equal to n, as in 2✔️3^2 it would simply be 3^2/2 which is nothing but 3^1 = 3. Basically, the m value can be greater than n and or less than n, but if it is equal the m and n values cancel out.

Squaring and square root are inverses, so one should "undo" the other. That is, squaring the square root of a number results in the number. Using the power of a power rule, you multiply the exponents. Since a number to the first power is itself, the product of the exponents must equal 1. This means that the power of the square root must be the reciprocal of 2, or one half.

Answer:

the answer is 11%

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because

27/30x100=90

which is 90

but the difference between 100 and 90 is 10

so its 10% but its closer to 11%

so yeah

i am not sure if its correct

Books spontaneously catch on fire in temperatures at or above 451, degree Fahrenheit. Write an inequality that is true only for

Brilliant_brown [7]

For this case, the first thing you should do is define a variable.
We have then:
t: temperature (degree Fahrenheit).
We write then the inequation that adapts to the problem:
t> = 451
Answer:
an inequality that is true only for temperatures at which books spontaneously catch on fire is:
t> = 451

Solve: 2/3x+15=17 3x+8-x=7 4(2x-6)=2

Answer:

x = 3

x = (-1)/2

x = 13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 x)/3 + 15 = 17

Put each term in (2 x)/3 + 15 over the common denominator 3: (2 x)/3 + 15 = (2 x)/3 + 45/3:

(2 x)/3 + 45/3 = 17

(2 x)/3 + 45/3 = (2 x + 45)/3:

1/3 (2 x + 45) = 17

Multiply both sides of (2 x + 45)/3 = 17 by 3:

(3 (2 x + 45))/3 = 3×17

(3 (2 x + 45))/3 = 3/3×(2 x + 45) = 2 x + 45:

2 x + 45 = 3×17

3×17 = 51:

2 x + 45 = 51

Subtract 45 from both sides:

2 x + (45 - 45) = 51 - 45

45 - 45 = 0:

2 x = 51 - 45

51 - 45 = 6:

2 x = 6

Divide both sides of 2 x = 6 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = 6/2

2/2 = 1:

x = 6/2

The gcd of 6 and 2 is 2, so 6/2 = (2×3)/(2×1) = 2/2×3 = 3:

Answer: x = 3

______________________________________________________

Solve for x:

3 x - x + 8 = 7

Grouping like terms, 3 x - x + 8 = (3 x - x) + 8:

(3 x - x) + 8 = 7

3 x - x = 2 x:

2 x + 8 = 7

Subtract 8 from both sides:

2 x + (8 - 8) = 7 - 8

8 - 8 = 0:

2 x = 7 - 8

7 - 8 = -1:

2 x = -1

Divide both sides of 2 x = -1 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = (-1)/2

2/2 = 1:

Answer: x = (-1)/2

_______________________________________

Solve for x:

4 (2 x - 6) = 2

Divide both sides of 4 (2 x - 6) = 2 by 4:

(4 (2 x - 6))/4 = 2/4

4/4 = 1:

2 x - 6 = 2/4

The gcd of 2 and 4 is 2, so 2/4 = (2×1)/(2×2) = 2/2×1/2 = 1/2:

2 x - 6 = 1/2

Add 6 to both sides:

2 x + (6 - 6) = 1/2 + 6

6 - 6 = 0:

2 x = 1/2 + 6

Put 1/2 + 6 over the common denominator 2. 1/2 + 6 = 1/2 + (2×6)/2:

2 x = 1/2 + (2×6)/2

2×6 = 12:

2 x = 1/2 + 12/2

1/2 + 12/2 = (1 + 12)/2:

2 x = (1 + 12)/2

1 + 12 = 13:

2 x = 13/2

Divide both sides by 2:

x = (13/2)/2

2×2 = 4:

Answer: x = 13/4

Help me with this please

qwelly [4]

The fraction is written as 3/4.
If you divide 3 by 4 you will get the decimal.
