Answer:

In the world of exponents, 4 is the number being raised by the exponent, which is 2.

Let's answer the first question:

If the base is 4, what is the value if the exponent is 2?

  • The base is 4 and the exponent is 2.  We would multiply 4 two times.

4^2= 4*4 = 16

So, it would be 16.

Let's answer the second question:

What if the exponent is -2?

<u>This is the rule for negative exponents:</u>

a^{-x}=\frac{1}{a^x}

Using this rule, we can solve 4^{-2}.

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

So, our answer for the 2nd question is 1/16.

Answer:less than

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 x 2 1/5 = 11/25

2 1/5 as a mixed number is 11/5

so 11/25 is less than 11/5 therefore

1/5 x 2 1/5 < 2 1/5

In the diagram, what is the measure of angle 1?
VLD [36.1K]
We know that
 angle (3x) and angle (9x) are supplementary angles
so
3x+9x=180°------> 12x=180°------> x=180°/12-----> x=15°

angle (9x) and angle (1) are supplementary angles
so
9x+∡1=180---------> 9*15+∡1=180
∡1=180-9*15---------> ∡1=180-135------> ∡1=45°

the answer is
∡1 is 45°

alternative method
angle 1 = angle 3x----------> vertical angles
∡1=3x-----> 3*15-----> 45°

Solve in systems by substitution y=2x+1 and 2x-y=3
nika2105 [10]

Answer: No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

y=2x+1 and 2x-y=3

Substitute y=2x+1 into 2x-y=3

So you will have: 2x-2x+1=3

Then,

2x-2x=0

0+1=3

1=3

1 doesn't equal 3 so there is no solution.
