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

Because 3^2 = 9
When you do (⅓)^2 what you are really doing is
(1^2)/(3^2) = 1/9


If you have (⅔)^2 you do
(2^2)/(3^2) = 4/9

Fractions get smaller because the denominator is also being squared which makes the denominator get bigger and when the denominator is bigger, you are dividing by a larger number which gives you a smaller answer. Whereas when you raise a whole number to an exponent, only the numerator get bigger because the denominator is 1 and 1 raised to any exponent is still 1

3^2 = (3^2)/(1^2) = 9/1 = 9

Use a calculator to find a decimal approximation for the following trigonometric function sin 28°48
Bumek [7]

The decimal approximation for the trigonometric function sin 28°48' is

Given the trigonometric function is sin 28°48'

The ratio between the adjacent side and the hypotenuse is called cos(θ), whereas the ratio between the opposite side and the hypotenuse is called sin(θ). The sin(θ) and cos(θ) values for a given triangle are constant regardless of the triangle's size.

To solve this, we are going to convert 28°48' into degrees first, using the conversion factor 1' = 1/60°

sin (28°48') = sin(28° ₊ (48 × 1/60)°)

= sin(28° ₊ (48 /60)°)

= sin(28° ₊ 4°/5)

= sin(28° ₊ 0.8°)

= sin(28.8°)

= 0.481753

Therefore sin (28°48') is 0.481753.

Pls answer ;-;
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The second one (2) is a lie

Step-by-step explanation:

The quantities are all proportional, with 4 donuts costing one dollar being consistant. With this, we can multiply the amount of donuts to 40, and through what we know, we can find that the donuts will cost 10 dollars. This leaves only (2) left.

A cylindrical Is half full of oil The cylinder Has a base radius of 100 cm The height of the cylinder 250cm 1 litres = 1000cm3 H
Softa [21]

Answer:

V=3926.99 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

cylindrical Is half full of oil The cylinder Has a base radius of 100 cm The height of the cylinder 250cm 1 litres = 1000cm3 How many litres of oil are in the tank?

Volume of a cylinder can be calculated using below formula

V=π r^2 h

Where r= radius

h= height

radius = 100 cm

h=250cm

But the cylinder is half filled, then the formula becomes

V=(π r^2 h) × 1/2

Then substitute the values we have

V=( π × 100^2 ×250) × 1/2

V=3926990 cm^3

But 1 litres = 1000cm3

Then V=(3926990 cm^3)/ 1000

V=3926.99 liters
