We are given (xy)^(-3).
This leads to 1/(xy)^3.
You see, going from the top to the bottom alters the sign of the exponent to its opposite.
ANSWER: 1/(x^3•y^3)
Did you follow?
The tree was approximately 40.8ft tall.
You use the equation, a^2+b^2=c^2.
12^2 + 39^2 = x^2, add the results of 12^2 and 39^2 to make 1665 = x^2. You can take the positive root of both sides, 3√185, and it equals 40.80441152, which is rounded to 40.8.
Answer:
The total cost will be $40 plus $1.50 per square foot of carpet or $40+$1.50x
A=g≈-32
v=⌠a dt since a≈-32
v=-32t+C, where C is the initial velocity, which we are told is 20 ft/s
v=-32t+20
h=⌠v dt
h=-32t^2/2+20t+C, where C is the initial height, so what is a reasonable initial height? How about 3 ft since we are swinging a bat around maybe our waist level... maybe :P
h=-16t^2+20t+3
Your choices may have made a different assumption about the initial height of course but you did not show your choices, but certainly it will be:
h(t)=-16t^2+20t+hi, where hi is the initial height in feet.
This of course ignores air resistance and flight dynamics of a spinning ball with seams, which will make a significant difference in real life :)
