Explain how to solve the equation: x^4/x^2

1 answer:

Margarita [4]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A better word than "solve" would be "simplify." The word "equation" does not apply here, since there is no = sign and thus no equation.

The applicable rule here is

x^a / x^b = x^(a-b), so x^4/x^2 = x^(4-2) = x^2 (answer in simplest form)

During batting practice, Lenora hit 60% of the 20 pitches that were thrown to her. What fraction of the pitches thrown did Lenor

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

A 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:Here’s one way to solve this problem.

Write sixty percent as a fraction having a denominator of one hundred.

Now, change sixty-hundredths to an equivalent fraction having a denominator of twenty, the total number of pitches.

Do this by dividing the numerator and the denominator by five.

Then, simplify the fraction twelve-twentieths by dividing the numerator and the denominator by four.

So, Lenora hit three-fifths of the pitches.

Jane wishes to bake an apple pie for dessert. The baking instructions say that she should bake the pie in an oven at a constant

Answer:

A=152

K= -Ln(0.5)/14

Step-by-step explanation:

You can obtain two equations with the given information:

T(14 minutes) = 114◦C

T(28 minutes)=152◦C

Therefore, you have to replace t=14, T=114 and t=28, T=152 in the given equation:

$114=190-Ae^{-14k} (I) \\152=190-Ae^{-28k}(II)$

Applying the following property of exponentials numbers in (II):

$e^{a}.e^{b}=e^{a+b}$

Therefore $e^{-28k}$ can be written as $e^{-14k}.e^{-14k}$

$152=190-Ae^{-14k}.e^{14k}$

Replacing (I) in the previous equation:

$152=190-76e^{-14k}$

Solving for k:

Subtracting 190 both sides, dividing by -76:

$0.5=e^{-14k}$

Applying the base e logarithm both sides:

Ln(0.5)= -14k

Dividing by -14:

k= -Ln(0.5)/14

Replacing k in (I) and solving for A:

$Ae^{-14(-Ln(0.5)/14)}=76\\Ae^{Ln(0.5)} =76\\A(0.5)=76$

Dividing by 0.5

A=152

To the nearest tenth, what is the perimeter of the triangle with vertices at (−2, 3), (3, 6), and (2, −2)?

katovenus [111]

Answer:

20.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula can be used to find the side lengths.

d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

For the first two points, ...

d = √((3 -(-2))^2 +(6 -3)^2) = √(5^2 +3^2) = √34 ≈ 5.83

For the next two points, ...

d = √((2 -3)^2 +(-2-6)^2) = √(1 +64) = √65 ≈ 8.06

For the last and first points, ...

d = √((-2-2)^2 +(3-(-2)^2) = √(16 +25) = √41 ≈ 6.40

Then the sum of the side lengths is ...

5.83 +8.06 +6.40 = 20.29 ≈ 20.3

The perimeter of the triangle is about 20.3 units.
