What is the answer if you simplify (-3k^0)^-4

Anything raised to the zeropower is 1 . So k^0 = 1 and you can forget about it.

The expression is now (-3)^-4 .

Anything raised to the -4 power means 1 / (the same thing raised to the 4 power).

So (-3)^-4 means 1 / [ (-3) · (-3) · (-3) · (-3) ] .

If you slog through that, you should end up with 1 / 81 .

You really ought to slog through it, for the practice.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

$5\frac{22}{25}\ hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$4\frac{1}{5}\ hours=\frac{4*5+1}{5}=\frac{21}{5}\ hours$

$100\%+40\%=140\%=\frac{140}{100}$

Let

x ------> new battery life

The equation that represent this situation is

$x=\frac{140}{100} (\frac{21}{5})=\frac{2,940}{500}\ hours$

convert to mixed number

$\frac{2,940}{500}=\frac{2,500}{500}+\frac{440}{500}=5\frac{22}{25}\ hours$

What is the area of the trapezoid shown below?

Olin [163]

Answer:

78 sqr units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to help find the base opposite the two.

The base of the second parallel line is sqrt( (15^2) - (12^2) ) = sqrt(81) = 9

The second base = 9 + 2 = 11

Area = (b1 + b2)*h/2

h = 12

b1 = 2

b2 = 11

h = 12

Area = (11 + 2)*12/2

Area = 13 * 12/2

Area = 78 square units

PLS HELP !!! U WILL GET 13 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST !!THIS IS A TEST AND I NEED TO SHOW WORK PLS PLS HELP AND ONLY ANSWER IF U KNOW

Answer:

This should be parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are said to be parallel only if their slope matches. They are said to be perpendicular only if the slopes are negative reciprocals.

Here, you should put both equations in slope intercept form which is y=mx+b. The letter "M" represents the slope of both equations.

2y-6=3x+4 turns into 2y=3x+10 after adding 6 and into y=3/2x+5 after dividing the equation by 2. The slope for this equation is 3/2.

8y=12x+8 must be divided by 8 to be in slope intercept form. This equation becomes y=3/2x+1. Here the slope is also 3/2.

The slopes for each equation match making these lines parallel.
