Why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get greater while fractions raised to an exponent get smaller

1 answer:

7 0

An exponent tells how many times a number is multiplied by it self . with whole numbers if you keep multiplying them they have to increase . taking a half of anythink makes it smaller .

what is the y- coordinate of the y- intercept of the line that passes through the points (-4,-4) and (4,8)

erastova [34]

$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~ -4 &,& -4~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~ 4 &,& 8~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{8-(-4)}{4-(-4)}\implies \cfrac{8+4}{4+4}\implies \cfrac{12}{8}\implies \cfrac{3}{2}$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}y-(-4)=\cfrac{3}{2}[x-(-4)]
\\\\\\
y+4=\cfrac{3}{2}(x+4)\implies y+4=\cfrac{3}{2}x+6\implies y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{3}{2}}x\stackrel{y-intercept}{+2}$

notice the slope-intercept form, that's the y-coordinate.

Share £20 in the ratio 2:3

enyata [817]

Answer:

£8 : £12

Step-by-step explanation:

2:3 means that there are 5 parts in total. Let parts be represented as p. 5p = £20, p = £4. That meant 2 parts = £8 and 3 parts = £12. Hence to share £20 in the ratio 2:3 is £8 : £12
