In an apartment building, there is only one elevator that residents are allowed to use. The elevator picks up six people in the

main lobby and ascends 4 floors. Next, the elevator ascends another 2 floors and descends 3 floors. The elevator ascends 8 more floors, then descends 2 floors. The elevator finally descends another 2 floors before getting stuck. What floor is the elevator stuck on?

Answer:

It is stucked on the 9th floor

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to know the floor on which the elevator is stucked.

The main lobby is the ground floor and has a value of 0 floor

Ascends four floors with 6 people from the lobby

It is now on floor 4

Ascends another two so it is now on floor 4 + 2 = 6

Ascends another 2, then descend descends 3

That will be 6 + 2 -3 = 5th floor

Ascends 8 more , then descend 2

That will be 5 + 8 -2 = 11

Descends another 2, making 11 - 2 = 9

It is stucked on floor 9

Kindly note, when it ascends, that is a positive value, when it descends, that is a negative

How do I simplify the n^-6*n^3 topic "Negative and Zero Exponents"
Alchen [17]
Since you’re multiplying n^-6 and n^3, you can add the exponents: -6+3 = -3

n^-6 * n^3 = n^-3

If you need to finish without having a negative exponent in your answer, then remember a negative exponent means that factor is on the wrong side of the fraction.

n^-3 = n^-3 / 1 = 1/n^3

when the factor moves to the other side of the fraction, the side of the exponent changes.

the slope of the line is below 2. use the coordinates of the labeled point to find a point-slope equation of the line.
Allushta [10]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = 2 and (a, b) = (1, 9) , thus

y - 9 = 2(x - 1) → C

The base of a triangle measures (3x − 6) units and the height measures (2x + 4) units. Part A: What is the expression that repre
Anettt [7]

To answer this item, we use the equation given for the calculation of the area of the triangle.

                                A = 0.5bh

Substituting the known expressions,

                      A = (0.5)(3x – 6)(2x + 4)

 

Part A: Use distribution method to simplify the expression for the calculation of area.

 

                         A = 0.5(6x^2 + 12x – 12x – 24)

                           A = 0.5(6x^2 – 24)

<span>                          A = 3x^2 – 12</span>

 Part B: The equation for area of has a degree of two because the highest exponent is 2.

<span>Part C: The closure property of polynomials is always closed for multiplication.</span>
