What is the value of the power a if 5 to the power of a is equal to 1/125

Mathematics

First of all, you should know/notice that

125=5^3

You should also know how negative exponents work:

a^{-m}=\dfrac{1}{a^m}

So, if you wanted

5^x=125

the answer would be x=3, but since you want 125 to be at the denominator, the answer is x=-3:

5^{-3}=\dfrac{1}{5^3}=\dfrac{1}{125}

A cylinder has a height of 12 feet and a radius of 5 feet. What is its volume? Use ​ ≈ 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest
beks73 [17]

Answer: The volume is 942 cubic feet   , 942 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is  v = pi* r^2 * h

Where v is the volume, r is the radius and h is the height.

Input the values for pi, radius, and the height into the formula to solve for the volume.

v = 3.14* (5^2) * 12

V = 3.14* 25 * 12

V = 942

Add 8 to each side- 3y=-9

And divide -9 by 3

This gets you y=-3

Find the area.
coldgirl [10]
We need to split this shape into different shapes. I am going to split it into 2 rectangles, and one triangle. The first thing I am going to do is the triangle. A triangle has an area of 1/2 b*h. Since 25 is the base of the figure, and 16 is the top portion where the triangle dips, we will subtract 16 from 25 to find the base of the triangle. The base is 9. Now we will find the height using the same method with the 23 and the 14. Our height is 9. 9*9 = 81 * 1/2 = 40.5. The area of our triangle is 40.5.

Next I will move on to the bigger rectangle. I am going to create a line where the 16 cm stops on the right hand side. This makes our base 16 cm and the height 23. 16 * 23 is 368. The area of this rectangle is 368

And now for our final rectangle. The base for this one is the same as the base of our triangle, so it is 9. The height of this one is 14. 9 * 14 =126. The area of this rectangle is 126. 

Now we need to add these all together. 
368 + 126 + 40.5 = 534.5 cm^2
