Answer: 8 ft and 4 in, 8 1/3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
100/12=50/6=25/3=8.3333333...
1/3 of a foot is 1/3x12 which is 12/3 which is 4 in.
First thing to do is to solve each of these for y. The first one is y=-4x-3; the second one is y=4x-21; the third one is y=4x+21; the fourth one is y=-4x+3. From that you can tell the positive slopes are found in the second and third equations. Those are the ones we will test now for the point (3, -9). y=-9 and x=3, so let's fill in accordingly. The second equation filled in is -9=4(3)-21. Does the left side equal the right when we do the math? -9=12-21 and -9=-9. So the second one works. Just for the sake of completion, let's do the same with the third: -9=4(3)+21. Does -9=12+21? Of course it doesn't. Our equation is the second one above, y+9=4(x-3).
Power of a power as applied to exponents is the following:
The power of a power is the product of the exponents, or
(x^a)^b = x^(ab)
For example
(5^2)^3=5^(2*3)=5^6=15625
First one and the last one are rational. And the other two of them are irrational.
