Answer:
Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that you wanted to know what 
is.
To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So becomes 
.
This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So 
would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase to 
, you would have to multiply a with two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease to 
, you would have to divide by a 3 times.
If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times: 
means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
x = -7
Solution:
4(1-x) + 2x = -3( x + 1)
4(1 - x) + 2x = -3 (x + 1)
4(-x + 1) + 2x = -3 (x + 1)
-4x - 4 + 2x = -3(x + 1)
-2x + 4 = -3 (x + 1)
x intercept = where the function crosses the x axis (x,0)
y intercept = where the function crosses the y-axis (0,y)
A. y=7/2x-2
x intercept , replace y by 0 and solve for x:
0 =7/2x-2
2= 7/2 x
2 / (7/2) = x
x= 4/7
y-intercept, replace x by 0 and solve for y
y= 7/2x-2
y= 7/2 (0) -2
y=-2
B.
x-intercept:
x=-3
y-intercept
0=-3
It doesn't have a y-intercept.
Answer:
Triangle ABCABCA, B, C the option C is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
As in the triangle ABCABCA, B, C
the given Choice A is DEFDEFD, E, F, and Choice B is GHIGHIG, H, I is in the same sequence as ABCABCA, B, C so option C is correct.
Check the picture below, you can pretty much count the units off the grid.
recall that the area of a triangle is A = (1/2)bh.
