<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is A. positive.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

When an exponent or a power is an even number and the base is a negative number, the value is always positive.

Suppose we have a negative base - 3 and a power which is even, lets say, 6 so what we get is a positive value.

(-3)^6=729

Therefore, a negative base with even power is always a positive value.

Answer: A. positive

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that powers are written in this form:

b^m

Where "b" is the base and "m" is the exponent.

By definition, the exponent indicates how many times to base must be multiplied by itself. Then, if the base is negative and the exponent is an even number, you get:

(-3)^4=(-3)(-3)(-3)(-3)=81\\\\\\(-2)^2=(-2)(-2)=2\\\\\\(-5)^6=(-5)(-5)(-5)(-5)(-5)(-5)=15,625

Therefore, when an exponent of a power is an even number and the base is a negative number, the value is always positive.

You are a screenwriter who is writing a script for an hour-long police drama. You have written 20 1/2 pages for act 1 and 5 1/2
finlep [7]

Answer:

You have written 26 pages in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

I always enjoyed adding fractions. Something about it is so... <em>simple.</em>

<u>The problem is basically asking us to add 20 1/2 and 5 1/2 together.</u>

I would first suggest adding both halves together, to make 1.

That way, we're left with 20 + 5 + 1. That seem easier, doesn't it?

Then we would add 20, 5 and 1 together, to get 26 whole pages.

And that, to an extent, is how I did it.

Hope this helps! :D

a certain shade of blue is made by mixing 1.5 quarts of blue paint with 5 quarts of white paint. If you need a total of 16.25 ga
Law Incorporation [45]

we know the blue and white paints are on a 1.5 : 5 ratio, thus, if we have a total of 16.25 gallons of paint to be split along that ratio, we can simply divide 16.25 by (1.5+5) and distribute accordingly.

\bf \cfrac{blue}{white}\qquad \stackrel{ratio}{1.5:5}\qquad \cfrac{1.5}{5}~\hspace{5em}\cfrac{1.5\cdot \frac{16.25}{1.5+5}}{5\cdot \frac{16.25}{1.5+5}}\implies \cfrac{1.5\cdot \frac{16.25}{6.5}}{5\cdot \frac{16.25}{6.5}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1.5\cdot 2.5}{5\cdot 2.5}\implies \cfrac{3.75}{12.5}\qquad \qquad \boxed{\stackrel{blue}{3.75}~:~\stackrel{white}{12.5}}
