<h3>Answer:</h3>

\frac{1}{9}

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
  1. Substitute the -2 into the equation.  f(-2)=3^{-2}
  2. Begin to simplify the exponent.  x^{-y}=\frac{1}{x^y}, so you get f(-2)=\frac{1}{3^2}
  3. Finish simplifying the exponent.  3 times 3 is 9.  f(-2)=\frac{1}{9}

Answer:

f(-2) = 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in -2 to x in the equation:

f(x) = 3^x

f(-2) = 3^(-2)

Solve. Note that if there is a negative in the power, you must flip the "fraction" and set it over 1. The answer itself does not become negative:

f(-2) = 1/(3^2)

f(-2) = 1/(9)

f(-2) = 1/9 is your answer.

Determine the axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = −4(x + 7)2 − 3.
spayn [35]

Answer:

  x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of this equation tells us it is a downward-opening parabola with its vertex at (-7, -3). The line of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex: x = -7.

___

Vertex form is ...

  y = a(x -h) +k

where a is the vertical expansion factor, and (h, k) is the vertex. When a < 0, the parabola opens downward. When a > 0, it opens upward. (When a=0, the "parabola" is a horizontal line at y=k.)

Find the value of n .<br> 6/n = 24/28<br> y = ___.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

n=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply, isolate the variable, and divide by the coefficient to solve.

\frac{6}{n}=\frac{24}{28} \\ \\ 24n=168 \\ \\ n=7

Plug back in to check.

\frac{6}{7}=0.857142857 \\ \\ \frac{24}{28} =0.857142857

Rectangle PROM has a perimeter of 42 inches, and OR = 8 inches. What is the area of the rectangle PROM?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

104 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

If OR = 8 then 8 x 2 = 16

PM= (42-16)/2=13

Therefore area = 8 x 13 = 104 in²

To check the perimeter is right:

2(8+13) = 42

A radio station ordered hats and coffee mugs to give away as prizes. A total of 1,000 of these items were ordered, and 3 times a
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The options are not shown, so i will answer in a general way.

Let's define the variables:

h = number of hats

m = number of mugs.

We know that a total of 1000 items were ordered, then:

h + m = 1000

We also know that we have 3 times more mugs than hats, this can be written as:

m = 3*h

Now we have the system of equations:

h + m = 1000

m = 3*h

To solve these, we usually start by isolating one of the variables in one equation and then replace that in the other equation, but in this case, we already have m isolated in the second equation, then we can replace that in the first equation to get:

h + m = 1000

h + (3*h) = 1000

Now we can solve this equation for h, and find the number of hats ordered.

4*h = 1000

h = 1000/4 = 250

There were 250 hats ordered.
