pls help will give brainliest Rena used the steps below to evaluate the expression (StartFraction (x Superscript negative 3 Base

line) (y Superscript negative 2 Baseline) Over 2 (x Superscript 4 Baseline) (y superscript negative 4 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript negative 3, when x = negative 1 and y = 2. Step 1: Substitute x = negative 1 and y = 2 into the expression. (StartFraction (negative 1) Superscript negative 3 Baseline (2) Superscript negative 2 Baseline Over 2 (negative 1) Superscript 4 Baseline (2) superscript negative 4 Baseline) EndFraction) Superscript negative 3 Step 2: Simplify the parentheses. (StartFraction (2) Superscript 4 Baseline Over 2 (negative 1) Superscript 4 Baseline (negative 1) cubed (2) squared EndFraction) Superscript negative 3 Baseline = (StartFraction (2) squared Over 2 (negative 1) Superscript 7 Baseline EndFraction) Superscript negative 3 Step 3: Evaluate the power to a power. StartFraction (2) Superscript negative 6 Baseline Over 2 Superscript negative 3 Baseline (negative 1) Superscript negative 21 baseline EndFraction Step 4: Use reciprocals and find the value. StartFraction 1 Over 2 cubed (2) Superscript 6 Baseline (negative 1) Superscript 21 Baseline EndFraction = StartFraction 1 Over 8 times 64 times (negative 1) EndFraction = Negative StartFraction 1 Over 512 EndFraction In which step did Rena make the first error?

Answer:

  First "order of operations" mistake: step 2

  First arithmetic mistake: step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

  \left(\dfrac{x^{-3}y^{-2}}{2x^4y^{-4}}\right)^{-3}

for x = -1 and y = 2.

Her work seems to be ...

<u>Step 1</u>

  \text{Substitute $x=-1$ and $y=2$ into the expression}\\\\\left(\dfrac{(-1)^{-3}2^{-2}}{2(-1)^42^{-4}}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{no error}

<u>Step 2</u>

  \text{Simplify the parentheses}\\\\\left(\dfrac{2^4}{2(-1)^4(-1)^32^2}\right)^{-3}=\left(\dfrac{2^2}{2(-1)^7}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{order of operations error}

<u>Step 3</u>

  \text{Evaluate the power to a power}\\\\\dfrac{2^{-6}}{2^{-3}(-1)^{21}}\qquad\text{no error}

<u>Step 4</u>

  \text{Use reciprocals and find the value}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^32^6(-1)^{21}}=\dfrac{1}{8\cdot 64\cdot (-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{512}\qquad\text{error: $2^3$ is used instead of $2^{-3}$}

_____

So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

  \left(\dfrac{-\dfrac{1}{4}}{2(1)\dfrac{1}{16}}\right)^{-3}=(-2)^{-3}\qquad\text{proper Step 2}

__

We expect your answer is supposed to be Step 4.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

  A) linear

  B) y = x is linear; y = 1/x is non-linear

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The points lie on the same straight line, so the function is linear.

__

B) Any function that has x to a power other than 1 will be non-linear.

  linear function: y = x

  nonlinear function: y = x^-1 = 1/x

In an obtuse isosceles triangle the angle measurements are, x∘, x∘, and (10x−2)=128∘. Find the measurement of one of the acute a
klemol [59]

Answer:

26°

Step-by-step explanation:

An obtuse triangle is a triangle that has one obtuse angle. Obtuse angle is an angle that is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two equal sides and angles.  

Therefore, an obtuse isosceles triangle is a triangle with an obtuse angle and two equal sides that have two equal acute angles (angle less than 90° ).

Given:

The three angles of the triangle are given to be x°, x°  and (10x−2) = 128°. The obtuse angle is 128°, the two x° are acute angles. We are not using equation 10x − 2 since the value of the obtuse angle has been given as 128°

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

∴  x° + x° + 128° = 180°

2x° = 180° - 128°

2x° = 52°

x° = 52° / 2

x° = 26°

The measurement of one of the acute angles is 26°

Choose the inequality that represents the following graph.HELP HELP HELP
Wewaii [24]

Solution:

<u>It should be noted:</u>

  • If the starting point of the inequality is half shaded, the sign will be < or >.
  • If the starting point of the inequality is fully shaded, the sign will be ≤ or ≥.

<u>We can tell that:</u>

  • The inequality will either have an < or > sign.
  • The blue line tells us that the value of x must be greater than -1.

This clearly tells us that the inequality is x > -1

<u>In conclusion:</u>

Option C is correct.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

1800 cubic in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the height is 1D, when it is multiplied by 10, the volume is multiplied by 10, so the answer is 180 cubic in. * 10 or 1800 cubic in.
