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.

Answer:

x° is 66°  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram, we have;

∠JIH = 105° Given

∠IDJ = 39° Given

Therefore, we have;

∠JID and ∠JIH are supplementary angles, by the sum of angles on a straight line

∴ ∠JID + ∠JIH = 180° by definition of supplementary angles

∠JID + 105° = 180° by substitution property

∠JID = 180° - 105° = 75° by angle subtraction postulate

∠JID = 75°

∠IDJ + ∠JID + ∠IJD = 180° by the sum of interior angles of a triangle

∠IJD = 180° - (∠IDJ + ∠JID)  = 180° - (39° + 75°) = 66° angle subtraction postulate

∠IJD = 66°

∠x° ≅ ∠IJD, by vertically opposite angles

∴ ∠x° = ∠IJD = 66° by the definition of congruency

∠x° = 66°

Alan and his classmates performed a linear regression analysis on the data set shown below and found that the line of best fit t
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

C. y=\frac{4}{5}x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Alan and his classmates found that the line of best fit through the data had the equation y=-\frac{5}{4}x+18

The slope of this line is m=-\frac{5}{4}

If a line would intersect this line of best fit at right angles, then the two lines are perpendicular to each other.

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other,

Hence that line must have slope \frac{-1}{-\frac{5}{4}} =\frac{4}{5}

Therefore we look for a line whose slope is \frac{4}{5} from the given options.

That line is the third option y=\frac{4}{5}x+7

Which relationships have the same constant of proportionality between yyy and xxx as the equation 3y=27x3y=27x3, y, equals, 27,
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

y=9x

y=\frac{18x}{2}

y=\frac{81x}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

3y=27x

If we isolate y, we can find the constant

y=\frac{27x}{3}\\ y=9x

So, the constant is k=9.

Another proportions that have the same constant as the given equation are

y=9x

y=\frac{18x}{2}

y=\frac{81x}{9}
