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

Let c represent the speed of the current.

time = distance/speed

Upriver, the current is subtracted from the canoe speed; downriver, it adds.
  6 = 32/(12 -c) +32/(12 +c)
  6(12² -c²) = 32(12 +c) +32(12 -c) . . . . . multiply by (12 +c)(12 -c)
  0 = 6c² -96 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract the left side
  96/6 = c² . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 96, divide by 6
  4 = c . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

The rate of the current is 4 mph.

Is 16x^2-56x+49 a perfect square trinomial? How do you know ? If it is, factor the expression. Please show your work
daser333 [38]

Answer:

  • yes
  • (4x -7)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is, the first and last terms are perfect squares, and the middle term is twice the product of the roots of those squares.

  16x^ = (4x)^2 . . . . a perfect square

  49 = 7^2 . . . . . . . a perfect square

  -2(4x)(7) = -56x . . . . . matches the middle term, so the factoring is ...

  16x^2 -56x +49 = (4x -7)^2

_____

The sign in the binomial factors is the same as the sign of the middle term of the trinomial.
