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

How are a function and its inverse related?
marta [7]

Answer:

They reverse each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

A function and an inverse of a function undo what the other does.  For example, a function gives an ordered pair of (5,0).  Therefore, the inverse would give an ordered pair (0,5).

Are the following lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither: y=-x+6 and y=x+1
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The following lines is perpendicular, y=-x+6 and y=x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Slope of parallel lines are equal

(ex. slope of 2 stays 2 )

  • Slope of perpendicular lines to another is the negative reciprocal

(ex. slope of 2 becomes -1/2)

y = -x + 6 and y = x + 1

the slope for y = -x + 6 is <em>-1    (-1/1)</em>

the slope for y = x + 1 is <em>1</em>

the slope -1 is the negative reciprocal of 1

hence, the definition of perpendicular fits the given
