Answer:

The answer is y=-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the "y" value, we have to change the way of we see the equation.

In these cases, when the variable is in the exponent and  it is possible to make two exponents in each side of the equation, we have to equal bases and then we have to make other equation between the exponents of both sides.

So,

125=(\frac{1}{25})^y^-^1\\(5)^3=(5^-^2)^y^-^1\\(5)^3=(5)^-^2^*^y^+^2\\

Then, we have to make an equation between the exponents of both sides:

3=-2*y+2\\2*y=2-3\\2*y=-1\\y=\frac{-1}{2}=-0.5\\ y=-0.5

Finally, the value of "y" is -0.5

125 =  \frac{1}{125}  {}^{y - 1}  \\ 125 = ( {5}^{ -  2} ) {}^{y - 1}  \\   \\  {5}^{3}  =  {5}^{2 - 2y}   \\ 3 = 2 - 2y \\  - 0.5 = y

Alja [10]

Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

By the inscribed angle theorem inside a circle,

"Measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc"

\frac{1}{2}[m(arc AB)] = m(∠ABC)

m(arc AB) = 2[m(∠ABC)]

x = 2(41°)

x = 82°

Option (1) is the correct option.

If it takes 8 inches of ribbon to make a bow,how many bows can be made from 3 feet of ribbon (1 foot = 12 inches)? Will any ribb
Aloiza [94]

First, find out how much ribbon there is.

3 x 12 = 36

Now, see how many times you can divde that by 8.

36 can only be divided by 8 four times, and there would be 4 inches of ribbon left.

So, you would be able to make 4 bows, with 4 inches of ribbon remaining.
