Answer:
Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that you wanted to know what
is.
To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So
becomes
.
This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So
would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase
to
, you would have to multiply a with
two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease
to
, you would have to divide
by a 3 times.
If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times:
means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.
Hope this helps.
Camel back Mountain = 15,168 inches (1,264 feet)
- 1 Penny = 0.061 (.0610) Inches
- 10 Penny = 0.61 (.610) Inches
- 100 Penny = 6.1 (6.10) Inches
- 1,000 Penny = 61 (61.0) Inches
- 10,000 Penny = 610 (610.0) Inches
<u>-SOLVING-</u>
10,000 Penny = 610 inches PLUS
1,000 Penny = 61 inches AND 61 inches x 5 = 305 (5,000 Penny)
100 Penny = 6.1 inches PLUS
10 Penny = 0.61 inches AND 0.61 inches x 6 = 3.66 (60 Penny)
1 Penny = 0.061 inches AND 0.061 inches x 8 = 0.488 (8 Penny)
-<u>FINAL ANSWER-</u>
610 + 305 + 6.1 + 3.66 + 0.488 = 925.248 Penny it would take.
I wrote the domain and range in interval notation, not sure if that’s how you’re asked to do it. This is how I was taught to state the domain/range of a graph.
Let b= length and a=width
Area= a*b and the problem said b=2a+3 (the length is 3ft more than double the width)
Replace b into Area formula:
Area= a*(2a+3) and we know that Area=77ft from the problem, so:
77=2a^2+3a now order and equal to zero:
2a^2+3a=77 now solve this with quadratic formula and you will get so values for a: -7ft and 5.5ft as you know the dimensions could not be negative so the correct answer for "a" side is 5.5ft, for getting the b side you haeve to replace a=5.5 into b=2a+3 and you will get b=2*5.5+3= 14ft.
Finished.
