easy

5% is .05 two decimals to the left

55 x .05 = 2.75

$2.75 is your sales tax

55+2.75=$57.75

The area is (BK) times (AK or CK).

If you have no numbers given, it's not possible to find the length of BK, or the actual number that represents the area.

The line passes through (9,8) and is perpendicular to x-2y=-16

pickupchik [31]

The equation of line perpendicular to x-2y=-16 passing through (9,8) is: y=-2x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x-2y=-16\\Adding\ 2y\ on\ both\ sides\\x=2y-16\\Adding\ 16\ on\ both\ sides\\x+16=2y-16+16\\x+16=2y\\2y=x+16\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{x+16}{2}\\y=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{16}{2}\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+8\\$

The equation is in slope-intercept form, the coefficient of x will be the slope of given line. The slope is: 1/2

As the product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

$\frac{1}{2}*m=-1\\m=-1*\frac{2}{1}\\m=-2$

Slope intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Putting the value of slope

y=-2x+b

To find the value of b, putting (9,8) in the equation

$8=-2(9)+b\\8=-18+b\\b=8+18\\b=26$

Putting the values of b and m

$y=-2x+26$

Hence,

The equation of line perpendicular to x-2y=-16 passing through (9,8) is: y=-2x+26

Answer:

<h3>1/8</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{(2^3)(2)^4}{2^{10}} \\$

Using the following laws of indices;

$\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}\\a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$

The expression becomes;

Step 1: Multiplication rule

$=\frac{(2^3)(2)^4}{2^{10}} \\= \frac{2^{3+4}}{2^{10}}\\= \frac{2^7}{2^{10}}$

Using the division rule of exponent (Quotient of powers);

$= \frac{2^7}{2^{10}} \\= 2^{7-10}\\= 2^{-3}\\also \ a^{-m} = \frac{1}{a^m}\\ 2^{-3}= \frac{1}{2^3}\\\frac{1}{2^3} = \frac{1}{8}$

Hence the result of the expression is 1/8
