For this case we have the following expression:
(-4a ^ -2 b ^ 4) / (8a ^ -6b ^ -3)
We can rewrite the expression using properties of exponents.
We have then:
(-4/8) * ((a ^ (- 2 - (- 6))) (b ^ (4 - (- 3))))
Rewriting we have:
(-2/4) * ((a ^ (- 2 + 6)) (b ^ (4 + 3)))
(-1/2) * ((a ^ 4) (b ^ 7))
-1 / 2a ^ 4b ^ 7
Answer:
The exponent of the variable b in Marina's solution should be 7
I'm pretty sure the answer to A would be this: the common point that satisfies both equations (where they intersect) can be shown AS 4^(-x) = 8^(-x-1).
The answer to B is forming a table. This is quite easier than you think :D.
Start with x on one side (3) and go all the way down to -3 like this:
(x) 4^-x 8^-x-1
-3 64 (Do the same with this)
-2 16
-1 4
0 1
1 1/4
2 .0625
3 .015625
So basically you just fill in the x variable with every number between 3 and -3. After that, it's just a bit of math and you've done it!
C is a bit misguided. I think it would be quite simple to just use a graphing calculator, but you would have to actually input all the x and y values from the table. After that, you will have a graph.
I hope I helped! Good luck and good day!
Answer:
$61.11
Step-by-step explanation:
When the price of something has a certain percent added to it, you can first convert that percentage to a decimal and then add 1, since 1 is the original price. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:
48.50*1.05*1.20=$61.11

Answer:
sec(x) = 1.15
Step-by-step explanation:
We can figure out what x is by using the arctan(x) function:

So, now let's figure out the cos(x) as sec(x) is equal to the reciprocal of cos(x):

Let's take the reciprocal:

And that's your answer.
