Answers:Part A: The value of x is 0.Part B: X can be any real number.
In Part A, you have to first evaluate 7^2. This is 49. Now, write the equation 49^x = 1. We know that if you raise any number to 0, then the answer is 1.
In Part B, you have to first evaluate 7^0, that is 1. Now, we have the equation 1^x = 1. In this case, 1 raised to any exponent is still only 1. Imagine 1^17, this would be 1 times itself 17 times or just 1.
Therefore any number will work in Part B.
Answer:
C & D
Step-by-step explanation:
You can do these two ways. You can multiply the cost of the the shirt by 15% (.15 as a decimal.) and then subtract that answer from the original price of the shirt to get the sales price of the shirt.
You can also multiply the price of the shirt by 85% (.85 as a decimal) and that will give you the sales price without having to subtract. 15% + 85% = 100%, so 85% represents the sales price of the shirt.
Anyway, since you multiply, you can eliminate choice A & B.
Since the direction in the question says to select all that apply, I would check both C & D.
C is the equation of the first way I talked about- Price - 15% * price
C p - 0.15p
D is the equation of the second way I talked about. Price times 85%
D 0.85p
Assuming that you got the numbers right and that I did my calculations right, then the answer is <span>2998.45 tons.</span>
3.174 is closer to 3.2 because, when rounding, 0.07 rounds up to 0.2.
