Why do whole numbers with an exponent get raised but fractions with an exponent get smaller

Mathematics
1 answer:
natali 33 [55]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

See below for explanation...

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction gets smaller because raising a value to an exponent means multiplying it by itself however many times depending on the exponent.  

EX:  2³ means 2 times itself 3 times, or  2 times 2 times 2 = 8

With fractions we are multiplying a fraction by itself however many times, so we have a fraction of a fraction, or a piece of a piece, which would keep getting smaller

EX:  (1/4)³  is one-fourth times itself 3 times, or one-fourth of one-forth of one-forth

so we get a smaller piece each time..

    (1/4)³ = 1/64

Simple interest formula :


total = starting amount x (1 + ( interest rate x time))


total = 500 x (1 + (.03 x5))

A new automated production process averages 1.4 breakdowns per day. Because of the cost associated with a breakdown, management
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The required probability is 0.167

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let x be the number of breakdown per day.

A new automated production process averages 1.4 breakdowns per day.

λ=1.4

Probability of having three or more breakdowns during a day is:

P(x\geq 3)=1-[f(0)+f(1)+f(2)]

The Poisson probability function is: f(x)=\frac{\lambda^xe^{-\lambda}}{x!}

Therefore the required probability is:

P(x\geq 3)=1-[\frac{\left(1.4^{0}e^{-1.4}\right)}{0!}+\frac{\left(1.4^{1}e^{-1.4}\right)}{1!}+\frac{\left(1.4^{2}e^{-1.4}\right)}{2!}]

P(x\geq 3)\approx1-0.833

P(x\geq 3)=0.167

Hence, the required probability is 0.167

On a family vacation, Aaron took 1,276 digital photos. His twin sister Ashley took 4 times as many as Aaron. Write and solve an
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Equation : 4(1,276) = p

That means that Ashely took 5104 pics.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we come up with an equation we can solve the problem and see how we solved it. If Aaron had 1,276 pics and his sister took 4 times that, we would multiply 1,276 by 4 to get how many his sister took. We don't need to do the math, but that's how we would solve it. So to find p, or Ashely's amount of pics, it's just 1,276 times 4 = p

Equation : 4(1,276) = p

That means that Ashely took 5104 pics.

Please mark brainliest if possible and have a nice day! :)
