Answer: 2 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
I am not fully sure what your teacher is aiming for. it friends very much on what you were just discussing in class (which I don't know).
but the first thing coming to mind is a minus sign ("-"). squaring a negative number removed the minus and makes the result equal to squaring the same positive number.
just for the undoing the 1/2 :
that is, because a fraction as exponent specifies in its denominator the root to be calculated for the basic value or expression.
so, 1/2 means square root. and yes, square is the inverse function of a square root, and it "undoes" the square root.
in exponent calculation it just means that for exponent 1 to the power of exponent 2 we simply multiply both exponents. and so, 1/2 × 2 = 1
FYI - the numerator still represents an original "to the power of" operation.
so, e.g. 3/2 would mean put the basis to the power of 3 and then do the square root of that result. or the other way around. these operations are commutative (the sequence does not matter).
Answer:the length of the shorter string= 36cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the lengths are 2x and 7x since thery are in the ratio of 2 :7
Such that Length of the shorter string = 2x
and the longer string = 7x so that the difference in Length which is 90cm can be expressed as
7x- 2x= 90
5x= 90
x 90/5
x= 18
shorter string = 2 x = 2x 18= 36cm
Longer strring = 7x 18=126cm
Answer:
A triangle is dilated by scale factor of 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle has three sides. All the corresponding angles of triangle must be congruent. When the triangle is dilated it is rotated 90 degrees clockwise about its origin. The shape of the triangle will not change due to rotation of dilation.
