Answer:

A. m(-1)^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of m doesn't change so none of the expressions with n as an exponent of m can possibly be correct. That leaves only choice A.

_____

You will find that when alternating signs are required, the term (-1)^n will be a factor. An offset of ±1 can be added to the n to make the initial sign be what you want. Here we want +1 for n=1, so an exponent of (n-1) is appropriate.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (−7,0) and (6,−4).

Over [174]

Answer:

y=-4/13x-28/13

Step-by-step explanation:

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=-4-0/6-(-7)

m=-4-0/6+7

m=-4/13

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-0=-4/13(x-(-7))

y-0=-4/13x-28/13

y=-4/13x-28/13

A recipe requires 5/6 of a cup of sugar. If mrs.Marina is going to make one half of the recipe, how much sugar does she need

NemiM [27]

Answer:

$Half\ of\ the\ recipe\ requires\ \frac{5}{12}\ of\ a\ cup\ of\ sugar.$

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

$A\ recipe\ requires\ \frac{5}{6}\ of\ a\ cup\ of\ sugar.$

i.e

$\frac{5}{6}\ cup\ of\ sugar = 1\ recipe$

As the mrs.Marina is going to make one half of the recipe .

$Thus\ multiply\ above\ by\ \frac{1}{2}.$

We get

$\frac{5\times 1}{6\times 2}\ cup\ of\ sugar = \frac{1}{2}\ recipe$

solving the above

$\frac{5}{12}\ cup\ of\ sugar = \frac{1}{2}\ recipe$

$Therefore\ half\ of\ the\ recipe\ requires\ \frac{5}{12}\ of\ a\ cup\ of\ sugar.$

(the stake is 14ft)

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

it‘s about

32.08 ft (if its not an answer choice try 32 or anywhere near that number)

Step-by-step explanation:

SO this is a simple example of triangles

We would need to find the heigh of the flagpole which is the leg of the triangle

The other side (14ft) is the 2nd leg of the triangle

And we know the hypotenuse is 35 ft

So we put that in Pythagorean Theroux and solve for the first missing leg

a^2+14^2=35^2

a^2+196=1225

a^2=1029

√1029 is about 32.08

So its about 32.08
