If it is not contained in a fraction write it as one over the variable with a positive exponent
ex. 2^-1 = 1/2. 3^-2 = 1/3² = 1/9

if it is in the denominator of a fraction move it to the numerator and make it positive
ex. 1/4^-1 = 4. 2/3^-2 = 2*3² = 18

if it is in the numerator...you get the picture
ex 6^-2/3 = 1/3*6² = 1/108

hope that helps

Soybean mean is 14% protein; cornmeal is 7% protein. How many pounds of each should be mixed together in order to get 280-lb mix
Marianna [84]

I have to form a couple of equations in order to solve it.

let the amount of soybean in the mixture be x and that of cornmeal be y

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 280

y = 280 - x

x*(14/100) + y*(7/100) = 280*(12/100)

Multiplying the whole equation by 100;

14x + 7y = 3360

in this equation,put y = 280 - x

14x +7 (280-x) = 3360

14x +1960 - 7x = 3360

14x - 7x = 3360 - 1960

7x = 1400

x = 200lbs

y = 280 - x

= 280 - 200

= 80 lbs

Inorder to make a 280lbs mixture having 12% protein, we should mix 200lbs of soyabean and 80 lbs of cornmeal

Which expression is equivalent to log8 4a (b-4/c4)?
inn [45]
The answer:
the main rules of the use of logarithm are

loga[a] = 1
loga[AxB] =loga[A] +loga[B] for all value positive of A and B
loga[A/B] = loga[A] - loga[B] for all value positive of A and B

in our case, <span>log8 4a (b-4/c4)

so it is equivalent to </span>log8 4a + <span>log8(b-4/c4) 
and since </span>loga[A/B] = loga[A] l - oga[B] , log8(b-4/c4)  =log8(b-4) - log8(c4)
 
the possible expression:

log8 4a (b-4/c4) = log8 4a + log8(b-4) - log8(c4)

Which equation represents a direct variation
Mazyrski [523]

Direct variation is is when the x and y a direct relation

without constants added or subtracted

With being times by each other

so the only one that meets the definite is the first one

 y = 0.5x  means y is equal to half of x.  So you know that every y is directly related to half of x
