Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a^ -b is equal to 1 / a^b

That means

4^-2 = 1/ 4^2  = 1/16

Answer:

4^{-2} \\= \frac{1}{4^{2} } \\= \frac{1}{16} \\

The property used here is a^{-m} = \frac{1}{a^{m} }

Answer:

a: 18pi

b: 3pi

Step-by-step explanation:

part a:

total area = 12^2*pi = 144pi

144pi/8 = 18pi

part b:

total circumference = 12*2*pi = 24pi

24pi/8 = 3pi

Which of the following is true about radiation from the sun?
bearhunter [10]
This isn't a math question and should be in the science section. However, I will still answer the question. The answer is choice B.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a further breakdown

A. False. The radiation or energy from the sun can travel through air or else you wouldn't feel the sun's rays. Also, plant life wouldn't be alive without that energy going through the air.

B. True. The rays travel through a vacuum of space. If they couldn't travel through space, then the same problem comes up as in choice A: the issue of not feeling the sun's rays.

C. False. They rays have different frequencies. Because there are many wavelengths (see choice D below), this means there are different frequencies. Recall that f = 1/w where f is the frequency and w is the wavelength.

D. False. The rays are made of different wavelengths. The visible light portion is what we can see, though there is a lot more to the electromagnetic spectrum (eg: ultraviolet light). 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So once again, the answer is choice B

Complete the square to the problem X^2+6x-16=0
marishachu [46]

Answer:

<h2>x = -8 or x = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\qquad(*)\\\\-------------------------------\\\\x^2+6x-16=0\qquad\text{add 16 to both sides}\\\\x^2+6x=16\\\\x^2+2(x)(3)=16\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2}_{(*)}=16+3^2\\\\(x+3)^2=16+9\\\\(x+3)^2=25\Rightarrow x+3=\pm\sqrt{25}\\\\x+3=-5\ \vee\ x+3=5\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\\boxed{x=-8\ \vee\ x=2}
