B =  4 and a = -2

<span>(4x^-2)^4
= 4^4 x^-8
= 4^4 / x^8
= 256/x^8</span>

Answer:

The value of a is -2 and the value of b is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is,

(4x^a)^b = \frac{256}{x^8}

Using (ab)^m=a^m.b^n on left side,

4^b(x)^{ab}=\frac{4^4}{x^8}     ( 4^4 = 256 )

Using a^m=\frac{1}{a^{-m}},

4^b(x)^{ab}=4^4 (x)^{-8}

By comparing both sides,

We get,

b = 4 and ab = -8

⇒ a = -2

Hence, the value of a is -2 and the value of b is 4.

After 2 week he has used 8 1/2 cups of dog food after 5 week he has used 21 1/4 cups construct a function in the form y =mx+ to
gladu [14]

Answer:

<em> y = 4.25x</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

After 2 week he has used 8 1/2 cups of dog food after 5 week he has used 21 1/4 cups, we can write this in coordinate form (x, y) where;

y is the amount of dog food

x is the time in weeks

The coordinates are (2, 8 1/2) and (5, 21 1/4)

get the slope m:

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = (21 1/4 - 8 1/2)/5-2

m = (85/4-17/2)/3

m = (85-34/4)/3

m = 51/12

m = 4.25

Get the intercept c:

Substitute any of the points say (2, 17/2) and m = 51/12 into the equation

y = mx+c

17/2 = 51/12(2) + c

17/2 = 51/6 + c

c = 17/2 - 51/6

c = 51-51/6

c = 0

Get the required equation:

substitute m - 4.25 and c = 0 into y = mx+c

y = 4.25x + 0

<em>Hence the required equation is y = 4.25x</em>

Is the following number negative, positive or neither?<br> -6 1/2
Annette [7]

Answer:

negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

what is half of -6?

=-3, negative.

You owe your friend 6 dollars, and you have 0 dollars.

Your friend told you: you only have to pay half the money

so, instead of owing 6 dollars, you owe 3 dollars, which will still be equal to -3 dollars from your wallet :)
