2-1/4
2/1=8/4 Multiply top and bottom by 4
8/4-1/4
7/4
1 3/4
Answer:
B and D
Step-by-step explanation:
B:
Anything to a negative power means that it is 1/that to the positive power.
E.g. x^-1 = 1/x^1
In other words, anything to the power of a negative switches sides of a fraction (i.e. if in numerator moves to denominator and vice versa.)
1/x^-1 = 1/1/x^1 which is just equal to x, because there are x number of 1/xs in one (1/x * x =1) Therefore Option B is equal to just x.
D: (assuming the first given term is x^1/3 and not X1/3 (?) Correct me if I'm wrong).
x^1/3 * x^1/3 * x^1/3 is also equal to just x.
This is because when multiplying together terms with the same base (x in this case) the exponents just add together, so:
x^1/3 * x^1/3 * x^1/3 = x^(1/3 +1/3 +1/3) = x^1 = x.
Therefore B and D are equivalent because they both equal x.
Hope this helped!
28. Surface Area
This is some sort of house-like model so for every face we see there's a congruent one that's hidden. We'll just double the area we can see.
Area = 2 × ( [14×9 rectangle] + 2[15×9 rectangle]+[triangle base 14, height 6] )
Let's separate the area into the area of the front and the sides; the front will help us for problem 29.
Front = [14×9 rectangle] + [triangle base 14, height 6]
= 14×9 + (1/2)(14)(6) = 14(9 + 3) = 14×12 = 168 sq ft
OneSide = 2[15×9 rectangle] = 30×9 = 270 sq ft
Surface Area = 2(168 + 270) = 876 sq ft
Answer: D) 876 sq ft
29. Volume of an extruded shape is area of the base, here the front, times the height, here 15 feet.
Volume = 168 * 15 = 2520 cubic ft
Answer: D) 2520 cubic ft
