What is the slope of this skateboard ramp if it rises 1.2 meters above the ground and runs 4 meters horizontally at the base?

1 answer:

8 0

By definition, the slope is the inclination of a line in relation to the horizontal. It can be expressed in degrees, ratios and even in percent. Therefore, you can calculate it by applying the following formula:

P%=(H/L)x100

P% is the slope expressed in percent.
H is the height (H=1.2 meters).
L is the length (L=4 meters).

When you substitute these values into the formula P%=(H/L)x100, you obtain the slope of the skateboard ramp:

P%=(H/L)x100
P%=(1.2 meter/4 meters)x100
P%=0.30x100
P%=30%

Write (8a-^3) -2/3 in simplest form

Anna71 [15]

$(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = \frac{a^2}{4}$

Solution:

Given that,

$(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}$

We have to write in simplest form

Use the following law of exponent

$(a^m)^n = a^{mn}$

Using this, simplify the given expression

$(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = 8^{\frac{-2}{3}} \times a^{ -3 \times \frac{-2}{3}}\\\\Simplifying\ we\ get\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = 8^{\frac{-2}{3}} \times a^2\\\\We\ know\ that\ 8 = 2^3\\\\Therefore\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} =2^3^{\frac{-2}{3}} \times a^2\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} =2^{-2} \times a^2\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = \frac{a^2}{4}$

Thus the given expression is simplified

Answer:

For instance, if the point (1, 3) is on the graph of the function, then the point (3, 1) is on the graph of the inverse. That is, if you start with x = 1, you will go to y = 3; then you plug this into the inverse, and you'll go right back to x = 1, where you started from.
