A student claims that 8^3 x 8^-5 is greater than 1. Explain whether the student is correct or not.

1 answer:

3 0

The student is wrong because when you simplify 8^3 you get 512 (8*8*8) and when you simplify 8^-5 you get 1/32768 (you put a 1 over 8^-5 to make it a positive fraction, then you simplify 8^5 to 8*8*8*8*8 which would be 32768). When you multiply them, you get 512/32768. Since this is a fraction and the numerator is not more than the denominator, it is less than 1.

The midpoint between points (x, y) and (3, 7) is (4, 11). What is x?

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

(3.5, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can quickly find the midpoint by averaging the x and y values separately.

X coordinate: (3+4)÷2=7÷2=3.5

Y coordinate: (7+11)÷2=18÷2=9

The midpoint is then at (3.5,9).

The answer is 4 because 2 studied for 4 hours and 1 studied for 5 hours and 1 studied for 8 hours. the number of students that studied AT LEAST 4 hours, so this would be described by the inequality x>=4
