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.

$\frac{y\ miles}{x\ minutes}=\frac{4\ miles}{28\ minutes}\ \ |cross\ multiply\\\\28y=4x\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 28\\\\\boxed{y=\frac{4}{28}x\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{7}x}$

How to convert a repeating decimal to a fraction

egoroff_w [7]

Always place it out of 9. For example, 0.333= 3/9, or if simplified, 1/3.

0.5555? this will be 5/9.

for the other way around, make it a repeating decimal, such as 4/9, make that 0.444

If it is 33/99, or even 333/999, the rule should be the same.

280 eels

92 + 56 + 52 = 200
eel = 56/200

56 *5     x
----- =   --------
200   *5 1000
56(5) = 280 x = 280

56/200 = 7/25
7/25 = 280/1000

Answer:

{-8, -7, 0, 6, 9}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The range of a relation is the set of its possible output values, also known as the y-values of a function.

2. Let's find the y-coordinate of each point.

$9, 6, 0, -7, -8$

3. Now, let's order them (from least to greatest) to get the range.

$-8, -7, 0, 6, 9$
{-8, -7, 0, 6, 9}

Therefore, the range of this relation is {-8, -7, 0, 6, 9}.
