Remember
$(x^a)(x^b)=x^{a+b}$
so
$(7^8)(7^{-4})=7^{8-4}=7^4$

I do not believe that a power can be negative so that confuses me also

a rectangle is made by joining two squares adjacent to each other as shown below. if one squared has an area of 144 squared cent

liberstina [14]

Answer:

Hello! After reading your question I have deduced that the correct answer is 288² cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I came to this conclusion was as follows:

Firstly:

If said rectangle is two squares put side by side (adjacent), then a valid assumption is that both squares are the same size.

This is because all four sides of a square have to be equal.

Thus if the two squares are joined together on one side, then all the other sides of both the squares will be the same length.

Thus both of the squares are going to be the same size, so they will have the same area.

Secondly:

If the area of one square is 144² cm then the area of the other square should also be 144² cm.

Thus if you combine the areas of both the squares, that make up the rectangle, you are left with the area of the rectangle being 288² cm.

I hope this helped!

A tank is filled at a constant rate. 10 minutes after filling is started, the tank contains 4.8L of water. After 35 minutes the

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Part A)

0.1 liters per minute.

Part B)

There was initially 3.8 liters of water.

$\displaystyle V(t) = 0.1(t - 10) + 4.8$

Part C)

562 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tank is filled at a constant rate. After 10 minutes, the tank contains 4.8 L of water and after 35 minutes, the tank contains 7.3 L of water.

Part A)

We can represent the current data with two points: (10, 4.8) and (35, 7.3). The x-coordinate is measured in minutes since the tank began to be filled and the y-coordinate is measured in how full the tank is in liters.

To find the rate at which the tank is being filled, find the slope between the two points:

$\displaystyle m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{(7.3)-(4.8)}{(35)-(10)} = \frac{2.5}{25} = 0.1$

In other words, the rate at which the tank is being filled is 0.1 liters per minute.

Part B)

To find the function of the volume of the tank, we can use the point-slope form to first find its equation:

$\displaystyle y - y_1 = m( x - x_1)$

Where m is the slope/rate of change and (x₁, y₁) is a point.

We will substitute 0.1 for m and let (10, 4.8) be the point. Hence:

$\displaystyle y - (4.8) = 0.1(x - 10)$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle y = 0.1(x-10) + 4.8$

Since y represent how full the tank is and x represent the time in minutes since the tank began to be filled, we can substitute y for V(t) and x for t. Thus, our function is:

$\displaystyle V(t) = 0.1(t - 10) + 4.8$

The initial volume is when t = 0. Evaluate:

$\displaystyle V(0) = 0.1 ((0) - 10) + 4.8 = 3.8$

There was initially 3.8 liters of water.

Part C)

To find how long it will take for the tank to be completely filled given its maximum capacity of 60 liters, we can let V(t) = 60 and solve for t. Hence:

$60 = 0.1(t - 10) + 4.8$
