5^-3 is 1/125
The negative in the exponent makes it so there is a 1 over the problem if there was no negative. When you have a negative in the exponent, the answer will be the reciprocal (opposite) of the question with no negative.
For example,
9^2 = 81
9^-2 = 1/81
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of cylinder:

<u>Bottom cylinder:</u>
1 inch = 2.54 cm
diameter = 14 in
r = 14/2 = 7 in
r = 7 *2.54 = 17.78 cm
h = 4 in = 4*2.54 = 10.16 cm
Volume = 3* 17.78 * 17.78 * 10.16
= 9635.59 in³
<u>Upper cylinder:</u>
diameter = 12 in
r = 12/2 = 6in
r = 6*2.54 = 15.24 cm
h = 12 in = 12*2.54 = 30.48 cm
Volume = 3 * 15.24 *15.24 * 30.48
= 21237.63 in³
Volume of the object = 9635.59 + 21237.63
= 30873 cm³
Answer: $76,244.51
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to use the compound interest formula here.
First of all however, you need to convert the terms to monthly figures because the interest is compounded monthly.
4% in months = 4 / 12 = 4/12%
6 years = 6 * 12 = 72 months
Now use the compound interest formula:
= Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of years
= 60,000 * ( 1 + 4/12%) ⁷²
= $76,244.51
It’s 54 because I did the math to get the answer
