2x^-2y^-2 = 2/x^2y^2 = 2/(2)^2 x (3)2 = 2/4 x 9 = 2/36 = 1/18
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The first answer is correct because we have a decay factor.
The sample is losing mass, so the number that is being multiplied by a power of x must be less than 1.
If the second answer were used, then the sample would be gaining mass.
So r is a number that when you add to t it will increase so its
T + r
The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.
For Example, In 8² , the 2 is the number of times 8 has to be multiplied. In this case It has to multiplied by itself 2 times, 8x8 = 64 so 8² = 64.
Another example is 9³ since the number above is 3 we have to multiply 9 three times, 9x9x9 = 729 which means 9³ = 729.
Hope this helps
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6x - 2y = -4
y= 3x + 2
We see that y = 3x + 2 so we can use that value of Y everytime we see i in the other equation.
6x - 2(3x +2) = -4
Now usually we'd we simply solve for X.
6x - 6x -4 = -4
This clearly does not work as we cannot get rid of X
Therefore, this system of equations has no solution we can find through substitution
