Answer:

a = 6

b = 3

c = 64

d= 64

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Apply the quotient of powers:

(-2)^a / 4^b

In the given expression:

4^5(-2)^9/4^8(-2)^3

base same then the powers are subtracting if the bases are in numerator and denominator

i.e a^m/a^n = a^{m-n}

Solving:

=(-2)^{9-3}/4^{-5+8}\\=(-2)^6/4^3

therefore, the values of a and b are: a = 6

b = 3

2. Evaluate Powers

c/d

We have

(-2)^6/4^3

When power is even negative sign changes into plus sign

64/64

Therefore, we get the values of c and d

c = 64

d= 64

Solve the triangle that has a=4.6, B=19°, A=92° (picture provided)
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Option b

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem use the law of the sines.

We have 2 angles of the triangle and one of the sides.

a = 4.6\\B = 19\°\\A = 92\°\\C = 180 -A - B\\C = 180 - 92 - 19\\C = 69\°

The law of the sines is:

\frac{sin(A)}{a} = \frac{sin(B)}{b} = \frac{sin(C)}{c}

Then:

\frac{sin(92)}{4.6} = \frac{sin(19)}{b}\\\\b = \frac{sin(19)}{\frac{sin(92)}{4.6}}\\\\b = 1.5

\frac{sin(B)}{b} = \frac{sin(C)}{c}\\\\\frac{sin(19)}{1.5} = \frac{sin(69)}{c}\\\\c = \frac{sin(69)}{\frac{sin(19)}{1.5}}\\\\c = 4.30
