Answer:

1/25

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=5^x

Let x = -2

f(-2)=5^-2

We know that a^-b = 1/a^b

= 1/5^2

= 1/25

Answer:

14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Focus on the triangle, and temporarily neglect the 2 ft measurement at the top of the triangle. Then the 2 legs of the triangle have lengths h - 2 ft and 5 ft, and the hypotenuse is 13.

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem, we get:

13^2 = (h - 2)^2 + 5^2, or

169 = h^2 - 4h + 4 + 25, or

144 = h^2 - 4h + 4, or

140 = h^2 - 4h, or, finally,

h^2 - 4h - 140 = 0. We must find the value of h.

I graphed this function on a calculator and found that -10 is a zero. Thus, the function factors into (h + 10)(h - 14) = 0, or h = 14.

The total height of the piece of plywood is 14 ft.

Check this: does a right triangle with legs (14 - 2) and 5 have a hypotenuse of 13? Yes.

A mug is 1/8 full. The mug contains 1/6 of a cup of water. Find the capacity of the mug. Write the answer as a fration or mixed

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The capacity of the mug = $1\frac{1}{3}$ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A mug is 1/8 full. The mug contains 1/6 of a cup of water.

To find - Find the capacity of the mug. Write the answer as a fraction or mixed number

Proof -

Let the capacity of water = x

Given that,

A mug is $\frac{1}{8}$ full of water

⇒Total cups of water in the mug = $\frac{1}{8} x$

Now,

Given that, The mug contains $\frac{1}{6}$ of a cup of water.

∴ we get

$\frac{1}{8} x$ = $\frac{1}{6}$

⇒x = $\frac{1}{6}$ × 8

= $\frac{8}{6}$

= $\frac{4}{3}$ = $1\frac{1}{3}$

⇒x = $1\frac{1}{3}$

∴ we get

The capacity of the mug = $1\frac{1}{3}$ cups
