How would i explain negative exponents to a little kid

1 answer:

7 0

Negative exponets are like normal ones
ex. 2^-2=-4 another way to do it 2^-2=2^2 with a - so you can do 2^2=4 add the - and it becomes -4.

What is the slope?

V125BC [204]

Answer:

$2$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this I would find two friendly points like (60,10) and (70,30). Now we will plug in for the slope-intercept formula $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ .

So...

$y_2=30\\y_1=10\\x_2=70\\x_1=60$

Now we plug in and solve...

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\m=\frac{30-10}{70-60}\\m=\frac{20}{10}\\m=\frac{2}{1}=2$

So the slope will be 2.

5=5ax+1 please help, its due in an hour.<br><br> solve for x

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

x= 4/5a

Step-by-step explanation:

5=5/ax+1

Step 1: Multiply both sides by a.

5a=a+5x

Step 2: Flip the equation.

a+5x=5a

Step 3: Add -a to both sides.

a+5x+−a=5a+−a

5x=4a

Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5=4a/5

x= 4/5a

Hope this helps!

A triangle has two side lenths of 1 and 16 what is the largest possible whole-number length of the third side?

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of two sides of the triangle = 1 and 16 ;

The largest possible whole-number length of the third side would be ;

Recall from triangle inequality theorem; the length of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. Therefore. The largest possible whole number value the third side could have is:

Assume the third side is the largest :

Then, the third side must be less than the sum of the other two sides ;

Third side < (16 + 1)

Third side < 17

Therefore, the closest whole number lesser than the sum of the other two sides is (17 - 1) = 16
